Abstract
I AGREE entirely with the opinion of Dr. Kendall that future progress in this field should not be restricted to the consideration of cases in which the configuration of sub-samples is determined by the configuration appropriate to the whole sample. Such a restriction is new to me, and indeed appears artificial; it is not surprising that within its limitation the method I had illustrated should be applicable to early a few special cases. Dr. Kendall makes no mention of other illustration I have given of the use of ancillary information.
