Excerpt from Statistical Methods With Special Reference to Biological Variation
This book has been issued in answer to a repeated call for a simple presentation of the newer statistical methods in their application to biology. The immediate need which has called it forth is that of a handbook containing the working formul? for use at summer laboratories where material for variation study abounds. In order that the book should not be too bulky the text has been condensed as much as is consistent with clearness.
This book was already in rough draft when the work of Duncker appeared in Roux"s Archiv. I have made much use of Duncker"s paper, especially in Chapter IV. I am indebted to Dr. Frederick H. Safford, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cincinnati and formerly Instructor at Harvard University for kindly reading the proofs and for valuable advice. To Messrs. Keuffel and Esser, of New York, I am indebted for the use of the electrotypes of Figures 1 and 2. Finally, I cannot fail to acknowledge the cordial cooperation which the publishers have given in making the book serviceable.
