Explanatory Note to Tables. 
Appendix I . — Measu lements. 
Observations were made on a selection of botli measurable and non- 
measurable characters of inmates. The measurable characters observed and 
recorded were those of stature (S), head length (L), head breadth (B), and head height 
(H) ; the non-measurable characters were those of hair colour, eye colour, and 
nose contour, Head length was measured from the most prominent point of 
glabella to the occipital point, and was therefore the maximum head length. The 
head breadth measured was the maximum breadth above the level of the ear. 
Head height was taken from the mid points of the auricular passages to the vertex. 
The types of nose recognised were straight (S), Roman (R), Jewish (J), concave 
(C), and wavy (W). The categories adopted for hair and eye colours were those 
used by the author in similar previous observations, and are the categories recog- 
nised by authorities in this country. The hair categories were red (R), fair (F), 
medium (M), dark (D). The letters B and M have, however, been inadvertently 
used in pages 5 to 14 to describe medium hair {i.e. in the Record of Observations 
on males at Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee, Edinburgh, Montrose, and Argyll), other- 
wise M is used in the hair column to describe medium hair. Red included light, 
bright, and dark red ; fair consisted of white, flaxen, and golden yellow ; medium 
included chestnut and all shades of brown except dark brown ; dark embraced 
dark brown and black. The eye categories were light, medium, and dark (hazel 
brown). Where blanks occur in the table, no observations were made or recorded. 
The blanks in hair colour were chiefly due to absence of hair (baldness) or absence 
of pigment (grey hair). 
Appendix H. — Classified Data. 
In Appendix H, one table of frequency and several tables of correlation are 
given, inclusive of the hair and eye colour table. Where italics occur at the end 
of the range in any of the tables, a break in the continuity of the scale is indicated. 
No persons with intermediate dimensions were observed to occur. Tables of 
means and variabilities are also given in this appendix.
