it could not make this great difference.That there is some substantial error is 
evidenced by the fact that tibias of these dimensions would give a reconstructed 
stature for French males of 168'2 centims. instead of 165 centims., and for French 
females of 158'9 centims. instead of 152'3 centims. Fahok himself, on the basis of 
Manouvrier’s method, forms the estimates of 166'8 centims. and lo9’5 centims. 
respectively,—the latter, at any rate, a quite impossible height for the French female 
population. 
(10.) We are now in a position to write down the reconstruction formulae for 
living stature from dry long bones ; they are the following :—

(rt) S = 81-306 -b 1-880 F. 
(h) S = 70-641 + 2-894 H. 
(c) S = 78-664 + 2-376 T. 
(d) S = 85-925 + 3-271 K. 
(e) S = 71-272 + 1-159 (F + T).

( g ) S = 66-855 + 1-730 (H + E). 
(h) S = 69-788 + 2-769 H +-195 R. 
(i) S = 68-397 + 1-030 F + 1-557 H. 
(k) 8 = 67-049 + -913 F +-600 T + 1-225 H --187 E.

(k) S = 70-542 + 2-582 H +-281 E.

* Dr. Warren found for the New Race from Egypt the mean length of spine for 85 males 
= '96 centim., and for 115 females = -87 centim. These numbers should be introduced as an addition 
to Mx in Tables V. and YI., when the tibia has been measured including spine. 
t The word “ dead ” is here used to denote a bone from which all the animal matter has disappeared, 
and which is in a dry state.
