cannot be called a really significant difference. But Figure I B which is con- 
structed in exactly the same manner for the girls gives reason for thinking that 
there may be some significance attaching to the greater height of the dark brown 
group; for in this case again the dark brown group shows a distinctly greater 
mean height. It is not quite, though it is nearly, as great a deviation from the 
general mean as in the case of the boys. One other hair colour group also calls 
for attention in Figure I B. The mean height of the light brown hair group is 
considerably less than the general mean ; it would be included by a line drawn to 
represent about three and a half times the probable error. It seems unlikely that 
boys and girls would differ in this respect, and that the same pigmentation class 
should be associated with a significant difference in stature in one sex and not in 
the other. But apart from the improbability of this occurrence the deviation is 
not such as would be accounted very markedly significant in any case. 
Scottish Hail" Data. Height and Pigmentation. As has been already mentioned, 
the data collected by Tocher in his survey of the Scottish insane have also been 
employed to investigate the problem of the relation between pigmentation and
