‘old-fashioned’ costume, which the men of the family delight to wear- 
on festive occasions, is partly the result of their own imagination. 
Having now dealt with the measurements and observations in 
my tables severally, I propose to inquire whether there are 
any obvious correlations between them, such as can he shown in 
even so small a number of individuals as twenty. If we take the 
mean stature of the five tallest men, the mean stature of the five 
who come nearest to them, of the next five, and finally of the five 
shortest, and if we take the mean of all the head indices of the 
same five individuals in each of the four hatches, we get the 
following results : — 
Stature. 
Cephalic 
Index. 
Vertical 
Index. 
Facial 
Index. 
Nasal 
Index. 
Gnathic 
Index. 
Five tallest, 
173-4 
82-0 
70-4 
94 ’5 
63-0 
93-9 
Next five, . 
167-4

Next five, . 
163-4 
79-8 
70*9 
90-1

96*9 
Five shortest, 
159-8 
79-3 
70-6 
94-4 
64-8 
99-3 
As one figure is apt to throw out the mean in batches so small 
as five, we may further consider the head indices in the same way 
from the point of view of the cephalic index, as the five tallest 
men are not those who have the five shortest indices : — 
1 
Cephalic 
Index. 
Vertical 
Index. 
Facial 
Index. 
Nasal 
Index. 
Gnathic 
Index. 
Five shortest heads, 
84-4 
70-6 
907 
70-6 
94-0 
Next five, 
81-1 
71*1 
93-0 
68-3 
98-6 
Next five, 
79-3 
70-8 
90-2 
61*4 
96-8 
Five longest heads, . 
77-2 
69-8 
91-2 
67-9 
100-3 
From these tables it would seem that there is a certain relation- 
ship between the stature and the shape of the head, and also, 
possibly, between the cephalic index and the gnathic index. 
Jprgensen’s data for Suderoe appear to indicate no connection
