page 346 note * Cf. Mr Robert Henderson's excellent paper, Frequency Curves and Moments, reprinted J.I.A., Vol. XLI, pp. 434-5. Note that his notation differs from Steffensen's: also that on the ninth line of p. 435, ∑x1 2 x2 2 should be preceded by a 2, and the error affects the value of the fourth moment. This will agree with Steffensen's when the necessary corrections are carried through the work.
