STATURE AND AGE. 



This array presents a bizarre effect, and no deductions may safely Ije 

 drawn from the correlation of stature and age. However, the facts 

 speak for themselves. 



The age is only approximate as indicated l)y the manner of grouping. 



For instance, there are 6 men at the age 20, but only 4 at 19 and 1 at 21 ; there 

 are 7 at 25, but only 2 at 24 and 2 at 26: there are 15 at 30, but 4 at 29 and 2 

 at 31; there are 9 at 35, but 2 at 34 and 1 at 36; there are 13 at 40, but 3 at 

 39 and 2 at 41 ; and there are 7 at 45, and but 1 at 44' and 1 at 46. Therefore, 

 it seems justifiable to group the ages in series of 5 except that the ages 15 to 17 

 form one group and the age groups above 50 are in series of 10. 



Accordingly, the stature appears to increase from 15 to 20, to decrease 

 from 20 to 25, to increase from 25 to 40, to drop considerably at 45 

 and 50, to increase again at 60 and 70, and finally to reach a stature 

 at 80 that is less than that below 20. There is a fastigium at 40, the 

 stature increasing up to that age and decreasing thereafter. The in- 

 dividual with the smallest stature is aged 38, and the one with the 

 tallest, aged 33. There are 58 individuals above the age of 20 who 

 have a stature less than the average of the group aged 15 to 17. For 

 this and other reasons the few individuals below the age of 20 are 

 included as adults in this study. The conclusion reached is that stature 

 in age groups is a matter of the chance types that were measured at 



If the statrrre increases 



each age rather than altered stature due to age
