VII. DISCUSSION OF THE DATA OF STATURE. 129
four brothers, and therefore giving an increased weight to those Fraternities, but in other respects the system was hardly objectionable. The introduced error must be so slight as to make it scarcely worth while now to go over the work again. By the system adopted, I found the Prob. Difference to be 1.55, which divided by V 2 gives b =1.10 inch.
Thus far we have dealt with the special data only. The less trustworthy R.F.F. give larger values of 6 in every case. An epitome of all the results appears in the following table

The The R.F.F. results were obtained from brothers only and not from transmuted sisters, except in method (2), where the paucity of the data compelled me to include them.
