From an analysis of the above table we see that the variability of the Scottish 

 skull, as regards cubic capacity, is very high in the case of the male group, practically 

 identical with the Italian, slightly greater than in the English series, and markedly 

 greater than the others in the table. 



In the case of the female group, however, the variability is distinctly less than in 

 the male group, is practically equal to that exhibited by the Parisian French, and 

 much less than modern Germans and Italians, which show a relatively high degree 

 of variation for the female sex as regards this dimension. We notice that the 

 Scottish female, in being less variable than the male, resembles the French, Naquada, 

 and Aino, while the opposite relationship holds in the English, modern Italians, and 

 Germans. 



Comparing the coefficients of variation of length, breadth, height, and auricular 

 height, we find them arranged in the following table for different types : —
