Note 662 — Chapter XVII · ON THE THEORY OF TRANSFORMATIONS, OR THE COMPARISON OF RELATED FORMS*

Cf. Dwight, T., The Range of Variation of the Human Scapula, Amer. Nat. XXI, pp. 627–638, 1887. Cf. also Turner, Challenger Rep. XLVII, on Human Skeletons, p. 86, 1886: “I gather both from my own measurements, and those of other observers, that the range of variation in the relative length and breadth of the scapula is very considerable in the same race, so that it needs a large number of bones to enable one to obtain an accurate idea of the mean of the race.”
