 figures. It will be observed on figure i the curve on the 

 left side rises steadily until it reaches the point of 162 cm. in 

 height ; it does not descend in the same manner, but remains 

 stationary up to 166 cm. It rises again at 171- 172, and 174- 

 1 80, which indicates that there is an excess of tall men among 

 the Jews in New York, and which is best explained by the fact 

 that they are an immigrant population, and emigrants are alw^ays
