TABLE VI.—Showing the Frequency-distributions of Statures Jor Adult 
Males born in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Final Report of 
the Anthropometric Committee to the British Association, (Report, 1883, 
PD. 256.) As Measurements are stated to have been taken to the neares) 
ith of an Inch, the Class-Intervals are here presumably 56313-573%, 
6715-5818, and so on (¢f. § 9). See Fig. 6.

for persons born in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and 
totalled in the last column. These frequency-distributions are 
approximately of the symmetrical type. The frequency-polygon 
for the totals given by the last column of the table is shown 
in fig. 6. The student will notice that an error of 1% inch, 
scarcely appreciable in the diagram on its reduced scale, is neglected 
in the scale shown on the base-line, the intervals being treated 
as if they were 57-58, 58-59, etc. Diagrams should be drawn for 
comparison showing, to a good open scale, the separate distributions 
for England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
