We see that as far as the cephalic index is concerned there is nothing to 
markedly differentiate our material from other groups of the general population 
that have been dealt with by other observers. 
Turning next to the diameters we have

These results show very clearly that the general hospital population has a 
smaller head than the middle class English population. The only exceptions are 
the male and female auricular heights for the British Association members. These 
were probably not measured with an ear-plug craniometer. The nearest approach 
is the criminal population. Before commenting on this let us consider the stature 
returns. We have
