3 — When diostolic pressure is correlated with weight, height 

 and age : 



a — Schoolgirls who have not reached puberty show the 

 greatest correlation with the factors, weight, height and 

 age, in the order named. The correlation however is 

 not as great as that found with systolic pressure. 



b — -Schoolgirls who have reached puberty show correlation 

 in the same order as in (a) but the coefficients are less 

 in each case. 



c — Here too, the college girls show correlation with weight 

 only, and this coefficient is less than that for systolic 

 pressure. 



4 — When pulse pressure is correlated with weight, height and 

 age: 



a — The schoolgirls who have not reached puberty show 

 correlation with the factors in the order named. These 

 coefficients are less than those for diastolic pressure. 



b — Neither the schoolgirls who have reached puberty nor 

 the college girls show significant correlation with any 

 of the factors. 



5 — When pulse rate is correlated with height, age and weight : 

 a — The schoolgirls who have not reached puberty show cor- 

 relation with the factors in the order named. 



b — The schoolgirls who have reached puberty show a cor- 

 relation with age and weight, in this order. 



c — The college girls show no significant correlation with 

 any of the factors. 



Of course these correlations with pulse are negative 

 correlations. 



6 — When considering the data from girls who have reached 

 the age of puberty, there seems to be in most cases, a better 

 correlation, in all of the series studied, in the schoolgirl group 

 than in the college girl group.
