The "mean body-weight" has been calculated for each grade of stature. With less than 150 individuals available for each sex the "averages''' sometimes represent a single individual merely and are extremely irregular. The straight line serves fairly well to smooth them. •as •ss.

The diagram brings out clearly a point noted above, namely the unfortunate narrowness in the range of variation of stature in our series of women. For comparison we have several series of data.
