Between 81* 55 ... 1= i66 per cent. „ 86- 90 ... 17 = 28-33 „ 91* 95 ... 27 = 45-00 „ ,, 96-IOO ... 12 = 20-00 ,, „ 101-105 ••• 3= 5'°° »» The minimum frontal diameter among the 60 female criminals is 85 mm., the maximum is 102. The average is 93 mm. ; and the predominating figures are between 86 and 100; and especially be- tween 91-95. Among prostitutes the minimum is 85, the maxi- mum 100, and the average 89. XI. Coronal Diameter and Index. * - ^ The minimum coronal diameter is 97, the maxi- mum 131, the mean 113 mm. The prevailing figures are 106-120. Among prostitutes the maximum is 126, the mini- mum 110, the mean 117. The smallest coronal index is 754.2 ; the highest reaches 97 02. The prevailing measurements are between 75’Oi and 90, 8o’Oi to 85 being especially frequent. The general mean is 82‘94. But these figures correspond more to the geo- graphical origin of the respective criminals than to their crimes, and the predominating numbers are usually low.
