As regards the ratio between height sitting and standing, it does not appear that a moderate increase of tallness in males is associated with a disproportionate increase of length of legs, the ratio of height sitting to height standing being uniform up to 6 feet or more. Its value is 54 : 100; in other words, the ratio of their legs to their trunk is 46 to 54 or thereabouts. When the stature exceeds 6 feet, the length of the legs as compared to that of the trunk increases notable; but my cases are too few to warrant a numerical estimate. As regards females, the case is curiously different. Here an increase of stature is from first to last accompanied by an increase in the length of legs as compared to that of trunk. The data calculated as above are as follows: -- For a female stature of 4 feet 10 1/2 inches it is as 45 : 55, for 5 feet 2 1/2 inches 46 : 50, and for 5 feet 6 1/2 inches it is 47 : 53. As regards taller females, my data distinctly point to a rapid progression in the rate of increase of the relation in question. Weight. As regards weight, I have nothing more to say at present. Breathing Capacity. The returns show a remarkable regularity in the alteration of the breathing capacity as life advances. It increases rapidly in early youth, and becomes stationary between the ages of 20 and 30 [end]
