We now pass to the tables VI—IX. 
Table VI. The indices of parents differ much, those of children 
are intermediate; 51 families. (p. 114). 
When perusing the families, it becomes evident that the indices of 
children have been differently grouped. Sometimes the mutual differ- 
ences are regular, sometimes they arelarge (curves fig. 6a, p. 190), just 
as we found this in the tables I—III. . 
If the families are grouped according to the increasing value of the 
indices of parents (fig. 6), then it is evident that the indices of children 
also show a mounting curve.

Diagram of 50 families of tab. VI. The een indicates the highest, 
the underline the lowest index of the children. Where these lines conflue, 
most times only one child has been measured. The pointillated line adie 
cates the average index of the parents. 
In some cases the indices have been grouped more round the high . 4 
index, in some other ones more round the low one (curves fig. 6a). 
So there is no regularity in the being intermediate of the children’s _ 
indices.
