(lbs. per in. of height) 2-406 — Note.—The factors in the bottom line give some means of ascertaining the most probable stature, weight, chest-girth, or strength of a man, when only one of these data is known. They also give modified values when the birthplace of the man is also known, whether it be in Scotland, Ireland, England, or Wales. The results so obtained are based on the supposition that the pro¬ portion between the values of these qualities is constant, which is practically true for values that do not differ widely from the mean. The method of employing the factors is simple: thus, the first five of them are the number of inches in height divided by the number of pounds in
