Table 5. — Showing relationship of the length of appendix to age and sex. 
a Vallee (36) as cited by Scammon (25) in an analysis of 100 cases of infants from birth 
to 1 year gives the length of the appendix from 2.5 to 13.0 centimeters with an average 
of 4.6. 
b Over 80 years. 
As to the relation between sexes the majority of the authors 
seem to agree that, in general, the appendix of the male is longer 
than that of the female. 
In our cases the male appendix averaged 9.10 centimeters and 
the female, 7.30.
