Abstract
THE anthropometrical researches of Mr. Francis Galton have had a very widespread influence, and, under his inspiration, a large mass of material has been, and is being collected, which cannot fail to be of service in elucidating a number of knotty problems. In particular, very comprehensive measurements of children have been made in America by Bowditch, Sargant, and Porter, the results being tabulated by aid of Mr. Galton's method of percentiles.
