The Committee, originally appointed in 1875, and aided by successive grants, of which it has expended 2801., has made a Report in each of the five years 1878 to 1882, and now submits its final Report. 2. Not that the work open to the Committee is exhausted, although it has to a great extent supplied what was pointed out in its Reports of 1881 and 1882 as chiefly wanting, or that its conclusions are to its own mind complete and satisfactory. But it would require more time and larger funds than are at the disposal of the Committee to prosecute its inquiries, even with the materials now in its possession, to the end which it has had in view; and the Committee is of opinion that the most useful course will be to bring before the Association the results of its past labours, indicating at the same time the conclusions which it considers to be sufficiently established by the facts ascertained, and the deficiencies, both of data and methods, which remain to be supplemented, either by individual exertion, or by the reappointment of a similar Committee at some future period undf r the auspices of the Association. 3. In order to furnish a complete review of the information obtained, it will be necessary to refer to tables and data contained in previous reports.

The tracing on Diagram III., showing the relation of the weights to the heights given in Tables I. and II., has been constructed on this plan, and the following figures will show how it was effected: See the Physical Requirements of Factory Children (London, 1876). 'The Growth of Children,' by H. P. Bowditch, M.D., Eighth Annual Report State Board of Health, Massachusetts (Boston, U.S., 1877). Thus, for each inch in height the weight is increased 4lbs. from 10 to 15 years; 6 lbs. from 15 to 16; 8 lbs. from 16 to 19; and from 19 to 30 years of age there is 6 lbs. added to the weight, while the height remains stationary. CHAPTER VI. STATISTICAL TABLES. TN combining into statistical tables the measurements and observations obtained in the manner I have indicated in the foregoing pages, it is of the utmost importance that a uniform plan should be adopted, to admit of ready comparison of the results of different observers. Statistical tables, moreover, should be constructed with a completeness of detail which will preclude the possibility of doubt, or of mistakes being made even by persons imperfectly acquainted with the subjects to which they refer. They should also be diagramatic, in order that the eye may take in at a glance the relation of the facts which they are intended to portray. I submit the following original tables of the height, weight, and chest-girth of two classes of the English population, as examples of my method of treating anthropometrical statistics. Tables I. to V. inclusive may be accepted as the highest standard of our English race, as the measurements are those of boys and...
