males v,n. and those for females Vf for each character at each of the asylums, the 
values of (t„, the standard deviation of the coefficient of variation, were calculated 
from the usual formula 
V 
V2n 
In the cases of B, B/L, and ^S*, 
V V 
was taken equal to 1 002, a sufficiently near approximation. 
The following table (Table XIV.) shows the values of 
(Vm - Vf)l{a,J + a,;f- 
for L, B, H, B/L and S for all the asylums. In the foregoing formula, v.m = th.e 
coefficient of variation of any one character in any male group and Vf=the 
coefficient of variation for the corresponding character in the corresponding female 
group.
