vi.] DATA. 75 



Three cases occurred in which the Records sent by- 

 different contributors overlapped. The details are 

 complicated, and need not be described here, but the 

 result is that five persons have been adjudged smaller 

 prizes than they individually deserved. 



Every one of the replies refers to a very large number 

 of persons, as will easily be understood if the fact is 

 borne in mind that each individual has 2 parents, 4 

 grandparents, and 8 great parents ; also that he and 

 each of those 14 progenitors had usually brothers and 

 sisters, who were included in the inquiry. The replies 

 were unequal in merit, as might have been expected, but 

 many were of so high an order that I could not justly 

 select a few as recipients of large prizes to the exclusion 

 of the rest. Therefore I divided the sum into two 

 considerable groups of small prizes, all of which were 

 well deserved, regretting much that I had none left to 

 award to a few others of nearly equal merit to some 

 of those who had been successful. The list of winners 

 is reproduced below, the four years that have elapsed 

 have of course made not a few changes in the addresses, 

 which are not noticed here.
