Abstract
IN a recent number of Biometrika (vol. 18, p. 22) Miss Hooke writes that the measurements which I made upon the well-known skulls at Hythe were “made on 590 crania selected from at least double that number.” The impression which this gives, and actually has given, is that, out of a large number, half had been selected or chosen for some special reason, and that, therefore, probably they did not fairly represent the whole collection. The skulls were in no way ‘selected,’ but I had measured all which were available at the time, though more have since been recovered.
