ETHNOLOGICAL NOTES. 
It is unsafe to generalize on such a small percentage of 
the Dusun tribe, but a few facts of interest emerge from 
these tables, which I think are not without value, at any rate 
as an indication of what we might expect from measuring 
a greater number of individuals. 
The average height of the men works out as 5 ft. 0£ in., 
with average span of nearly three inches more. In one 
case only was the span less than the height, viz. in one 
man whose right arm was stiff at. the elbow and slightly bent. 
Two out of the remaining forty-four men spanned less than 
an inch over their height, six spanned less than 2 in. over 
their height. One man spanned 5J- in. more than his height. 
Two of the shortest men measured 4 ft. 7 in. and 
4 ft. 9J in., but I noted that they were probably not full 
grown. One of older years measured 4ft. 8J in. 
The tallest man measured 5 ft. 4J in. and spanned 
5 ft. 8J in. This was Sumpot, the present Chief of Kiau. 
The following curves illustrate the foregoing remarks
