Abstract
IN an interesting paper, quoted at p. 661 of NATURE, Prof. Rolleston dwells upon the proportion of short-lived male skeletons, found in Anglo-Saxon interments, as contrasted with the older character of the Romano-British interments, deducing there-from a conclusion as to their respective longevity. The writer appears to have forgotten that the youth of Romano-Britain had for many generations been forcibly expatriated—drafted abroad to feed the armies of Imperial Rome.
