Extract

In the following list of 36 lives, with a range in ages frdm 56 to 89, the average age is 71.0 years. The average of 460 lives noticed in this Magazine since 1877 is 65.9 years ; and in the six numbers of this series since 1919 there has been a gradual and steady increase from 63.6 to 71.0.

Particulars respecting Czech, Italian, Japanese, and Russian subjects have been kindly supplied by Professors F. Slavlk, G. R. Levi, R. Ōhashi, and Mr. S. I. Tomkeieff respectively, and to these colleagues I express my thanks.
