Anthropometry of Scottish Insane 
megalomeric populations are those of Argyll, Ayr, Montrose and Banff, while 
the distinctl}' micromeric populations are those of Glasgow (Gartloch, Lenzie 
and Govau). Isomeric populations occur at Dumfries, Fife, Haddington, Perth, 
Greenock and Paisley. All the other groups are mictomeric. By this is meant 
that the group possesses on an average greater or equal magnitudes of some 
characters, and equal or less in others — the characters are in part megalo-, 
micro-, and isometropic. With respect to the general population, the significant 
differences or deviations are both positive and negative ; or comparatively speaking, 
the mictomeric groups have a mixed specification.
