Official returns do not usually give the necessary analysis of the frequencies at the lower end of the range to enable the exact position of the maximum to be determined ; and for this reason the data on which Table XIII. is founded, though of course very unreliable, are of some interest. It will be seen from the table and fig. 16 that with the given classification the distribution appears clearly assignable to the present type, the number of estates between zero and £100 in annual value being more than six times as great as the number between £100 and £200 in annual value, and the frequency continuously falling as the value increases. A close analysis of the first class suggests, however, that the greatest frequency does not occur actually at zero, but that there is a true maximum frequency for estates of about £1 15 0 in annual value. The distribution might therefore be more correctly assigned to the second type, but the position of the greatest frequency indicates a TABLE XIII.—Showing the Numbers and Annual Values of the Estates of those who had taken part in the Jacobite Rising of 1715.
