240 GARSON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 
As the length of the tibia in D is quite out of proportion to that 
of the femur, I am inclined to think that some error has occurred in 
recording its measurement. The above formulae appear to give better 
results than the earlier ones of Topinard used in the paper, as the 
estimates from the femur and tibia more closely correspond to one 
another. The earlier formulae are those used by General Pitt Rivers 
in his worts on " Excavations in Cranborne Chase ;" the formulae 
used in the paper for the estimate of stature from the lengths of the 
femur and tibia added together is almost the same as that just given, 
and the difference between using the one or other is only 3mm. on 
the indicated stature, that is to say, when the divisor 49*4 is used 
the stature indicated by the answer is 3 mm. less than when 49 '3 is 
used as the divisor. 
The length of the humerus in these specimens being longer than 
usual, possibly from the longest bone having been measured instead 
of the mean of the two, Topinard's last formulae has been given in 
this additional note in preference to that of Rollet's which would 
have given a still higher estimate, and therefore differed more from 
the results given by the other bones.
