that their head is not at all smaller than that of the men. In 

 men it was found that the length of the head amounts to 1 1.43 

 percent of the body-height, and in the women it is seen to be 11 

 percent — almost the same. The longest head encountered 

 among the women was 199 mm., the shortest 159 mm., a dif- 

 ference of 40 mm., or 22.34 percent of the average, and larger 

 than that found for the men. The standard deviation is 6.085 

 and the probable error 0.193, both about the same found for 

 the men.

 ing that the curve is smooth and its apex occurs at 179-180 

 mm., the median length, where 14.71 percent of all the obser- 

 vations are found. 



From Table XIX is seen that the average length of the head 

 of the immigrant Jewesses is larger than that of Jewesses who 

 remained at home. Excepting those from Galicia, who meas- 

 ured exactly the same as the Jewesses measured by Majer and 

 Kopernicki in Galicia, the Polish Jewesses averaged 181 mm., 

 as against only 177 mm. in Warsaw; the Little-Russian Jew- 

 esses were found to have an average length of the head of 180 

 in New York City, and only 177 in their native land (Talko- 

 Hryncewicz). This corresponds to the facts observed while 

 considering the same measurement in men.
