Proceedings of the lloyal Irish Academi/. 



We tliink it best to publish the results which we have obtained in 

 a somewliat bald form. Very few comments are, therefore, made iu 

 connexion with the tables of figures which follow. "W^e do not con- 

 sider that the measurements Avhich have been made are sufficiently 

 numerous to allow us to formulate any broad or comprehensive gene- 

 ralization on the subject. To those interested in anthropometric work, 

 however, we doubt not they will be of use, and it may be well to men- 

 tion that, although the actual measurements are not published, they 

 are i)reserved in the Laboratory, and are available for study by all who 

 may wish to enter further into the matter.
