Remarhs. —A. The measurements of this giant are given b}^ Manouveiee, 
‘ Memoires cle la Societe d’Anthropologie de Paris,’ vol. 4, p. 387. The femur has 
been given its maximum instead of oblique length. See also Topinaed, ‘ Anthro- 
pologie Generale,’ p. 1101. 
B and C. Details extracted from ' Die AnthropologiscJien Sammlungen Deutsch- 
lands,’ V. Berlin, 
D and E. Data from the Royal College of Surgeons’ Catalogue. 
F. I have taken the length of the long bones from Professor Cunningham’s paper, 
“ Royal Irish Academy Transactions,” vol. 29, 1891, pp. 553-612. Cunningham uses 
the femur and Topinaed’s ratio to get the stature. Topinaed himself gives 
Mageath’s stature as 223 centims. I do not see why Dr. Bianchi’s measurement 
of 226 centims. should be rejected. There is no reason to supj)ose the doctor would 
have any cause to exaggerate Mageath’s stature, and he measured him alive. I have 
accordingly adopted Bianchi’s value as the best available. It is in very good 
accordance with the stature of the Innsbruck giant, and both were probably shorter 
than O’Byene,
