From this table (IV) it is seen that individuals of short stature 

 were found in Europe to reach 35.46 percent, while among the 

 immigrant Jewish population in New York City it was only 23.3 

 percent. Large stature, on the other hand, is among the Jews 

 in Eastern Europe 10.65 percent, and in New York the propor- 

 tion is nearly double, 19. 1 1 percent. Median height, 160 to 170 

 cm. in height, is about equally distributed in both groups. The 

 superiority for the stature of the immigrant Jews in the United 

 States as compared with those in Eastern Europe, is depicted to 

 a yet better advantage in the accompanying diagram (Fig. 2),

STATURE 



Fig. 3. 



constructed from the tables given in the works of the above 

 mentioned authors. The curve for the Jews in the United States 

 is situated more toward the right, while the one for those in 

 Europe, is more to'the left, although their course in other regards 

 is almost identical.
