Abstract
HAVING had occasion to make use of Mr. H. H. Risley's valuable anthropometric data of the tribes and castes of Bengal, some of the “means” for the cephalic breadth, minimum frontal breadth and maximum bizygomatic breadth were incidentally recalculated. This was done whenever the tabulated value for the mean seemed a highly improbable one, and as some serious differences between our means and those given by Mr. Risley were found, it was thought well to point this out for the benefit of those who may be basing their arguments on these data without recalculation. Thus, in vol. i., for the Murmi tribe of the Darjiling Hills, for the mean minimum frontal breadth Mr. Risley gives 113.5, where we find 107.2; for the maximum bizygomatic breadth Mr. Risley's value is 145.9, ours is 138.4.
