the men (6.58), while the probable error is 0.20 — larger than 

 that of the men (o. 1133). This is due to the smaller number 

 of observations on women, because the average is more accurate, 

 and the probable error consequently smaller, the larger the 

 number of individuals measured. 



Arranged in groups of tall, short, etc., we find the following

The seriation of the values obtained by measurement is shown 

 in Table XI and a curve drawn from these figures can be seen on 

 diagram I. Here we observe a narrow pyramid, much higher 

 and narrower than the one for the stature of the men, showing a 

 lesser degree of variability, on the part of the women. The apex 

 points at 152 cm., w^here nearly fifteen per cent, of the observa- 

 tions are found. 



No definite conclusions can be drawn from the figures in table 

 XII showing the individual variations of the stature of Jewesses 

 according to their nativity. The number of observations in each 

 group is too small to give reliable results. Adapting, however, 

 the plan pursued while discussing the stature of the Jews it is
