2 leaves, 46 pp; 8 diagrams; 64 tables. Folio. Original wrappers. Paper sticker on front wrapper (covering printed price information), else Near Fine. Eugenics Laboratory Memoir X. University of London Francis Galton Laboratory for National Eugenics. Second Edition.

We have preferred the latter course, partly because on re-reading our own paper it appeared to us that a careful study of our text and tables really supplied the answers to most of the criticisms which, not being of a rhetorical and unscientific character, deserve to be considered, and partly because the only rebutting evidence cited by critics is not closely allied to our present form of investigation and therefore has been dealt with at length in a separate study.".…
