The suggestion is that there is increased correlation with higher civilisation, 
the Veddahs being somewhat out of rule. The females are slightly, but very 
probably not significantly, more highly correlated than the males. There is 
nothing out of keeping in this correlation order with that for the means and 
variations exhibited in the "tree" on p. 417, but it is too slender to give it much 
support. If we turn to the correlations of simotic and mesodacryal (subtense) 
indices r Sa we find a greater range of variation and thus more possibility of 
getting an order of some racial interest.

With the single exception of the Gorilla the females have in every case, and 
often markedly, more correlation than the males. But the results are extremely 
irregular, even if we allow for the small numbers dealt with. Accordingly it 
seemed worth while to deal more at length with the relation between the simotic 
and mesodacryal characters, and further correlations were worked out. It must
