(Drapers Company Research Publica- tions), and of the Correction formulae by William Brown in the reports of the VInie Congres Internationale de Ptychologie, Geneve, 1909 ( Some Experimental Results in Correlation ).

In this article I have nowhere discussed at length the advantages and limitations of Dr Spearmans formulae : instead of burdening a lengthy paper with further mathematical technicalities, I have preferred to leave the merits and defects of the methods I have endeavoured to test and illustrate to be inferred from the results they yield by those more competent to form an opinion on mathematical questions than myself.

I may, however, add that most of the figures essential to my general psycho- logical conclusions have been checked by the more elaborate and better accredited formulae, and the discrepancies have been found to be practically negligible.

When there is complete inverse proportionality the coefficient should be 1.
