It would have been desirable to carry out these investigations on a larger material, but it was impossible due to practical reasons. A larger material would possibly have altered the minimum and maximum values, but I believe that the averages would not have been altered considerably. The following table shows the composition of the material according to the species and sex. d ? ?
