Should the stature of the living be required from the corpse stature, then 
1-26 centim. should be subtracted for the male and 2 centims. for the woman.* If a 
left member has been measured instead of a right, a small allowance might be made 
for this on the basis of Rollet’s means for the left side, but such refinement is 
hardly of service when we look at the probable error of an individual reconstruction, 
i.e., about 2 centims. We shall return to the point later as a second order error in 
racial reconstruction. 
In order to indicate to the reader the degree of confidence he may place in the 
above formulae of reconstruction, and also their relative value, I give below a table of 
observed and reconstructed statures in the case of 20 out of Hollet’s 100 cases. 
The individuals, in order to avoid any bias, were taken at random as the 5th, 10th, 
15th, &c. enti'ies through Rollet’s Tables. The observed statures are recorded and 
the differences as obtained by the formulae (a)-(/r). Under the heading M, I give 
the differences which would be yielded by M, Manouvbier’s Table. It is formulae 
(_/), (A), (t), and [k) on which I should lay most weight, and which should be used 
whenever the material is available.
