Head Height. (See Maps VII. and VIII.) The means of this character show 
greater variability than those of any other character do. This is at once seen 
from the interlocal constants, discussed further on. The inmates are divided 
sharply into two groups, (1) a high-headed or hypsicranial group, and (2) a low- 
headed or chainaecranial one. The Scottish Midlands are hypsicranial. Inverness, 
Aberdeen, Elgin, Argyll, Ayr, Galloway — all contiguous — are chamaecranial, as 
also are Fife and Dundee. Edinburgh city differs from Glasgow, Dundee and 
Aberdeen in being hypsicranial, agreeing with the surrounding country in this 
distinguishing feature. Males and females agree generally, the exceptions being 
Paisley, and to a lesser extent Haddington, Lenzie and Aberdeen. 
Stature. (See Maps XI. and XII.) Glasgow and its environs. Paisley, Greenock, 
Lanark, Stirling and Ayr differ materially from the rest of Scotland with respect 
to stature. The inmates of this group are short-statured or micromegithic. The 
female inmates of Govan and Lanark, however, differ very little f'l-om the general 
mean. The males of the entire north (excepting Elgin, which is average statured 
or mesomegithic) and the border counties are tall-statured or megalomegithic. 
Galloway males approximate the mean. Taking the cases from the tallest down- 
wards, the order of the asylums are as follows : — Argyll. Inverness, the Border 
counties, Aberdeen, Banff and Haddington. The shortest inmates are found at 
Lenzie, and then follow Gartloch, Stirling, Lanark and Dundee. Generally speaking 
the asylum population is shorter in the neighbourhood of the great cities and 
in these cities themselves than in the rest of Scotland. 
The foregoing statements are based on results which are embodied in the 
following table.
