Miscellanea 
Orthography, Handwriting, Geography and English Composition. The total marks were 300 
in the first subject and 200 in each of the others — grand total 1100. I give the results below 
as far as I need them.

I first correlated ranks a with ranks c. This leads to 
p„e = -8834 
by the formula (xx) of my memoir " On Further Methods of Determining Correlation " [Drapers' 
Company Research Memoirs, iv, p. 13, Cambridge University Press). 
Using formula (xviii) of the same memoir, we obtain for the correlation of variates, i.e. general 
capacity and arithmetical capacity : 
/■'m = -893. 
I worked out directly by the product-moment method the same correlation and found 
rM=-896±-026. 
The agreement between r^,; and r'la in this case is excellent. 
I next investigated the correlation of total marks and ranks in arithmetic and found 
Pi.c= - '87121, 
whence we deduce by the fundamental equation of the present paper, 
/'w=-892. 
* I have altered this figure by one mark to avoid the trouble of dealing with a single bracket, the only 
one involved.
