178. "While it is improbable that _all_ the difference of the sexes with regard to physical strength can be attributed to persistent difference in training, it is certain that a large part of the difference is explicable on this ground. The great strength of savage women and the rapid increase in strength of civilized women wherever systematic physical training has been introduced both show the importance of this factor."--Ibid., p. 178.] [Footnote 45: "Physical and Mental Deviations from the Normal among Children in Public Elementary and Other Schools," _Report of the Sixty-fourth Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science_, 1894. pp. 434ff.] [Footnote 46: A.

Of the 3,956 individuals 2,311 were females, and of these 14 (0.605 per cent.) presented supernumerary mammae or nipples. That is, this anomaly was found to occur more than four times as frequently in men as in women.--J. Mitchell Bruce, "On Supernumerary Nipples and Mammae," _Journal of Anatomy and Physiology_, Vol. XIII, p. 432. Leichtenstern, however, whose investigations were of earlier date than those of Bruce, says that supernumerary mammae occur with about equal frequency in the two sexes.--Leichtenstern, "Ueber das Vorkommen und die Bedeutung supernumeraerer Brueste und Brustwarzen," Virchow's _Archiv fuer pathologische Anatomie_, Vol. LXXIII, p. 238.] [Footnote 54: Ellis, _loc. cit._ (4th ed.), pp. 413ff.] [Footnote 55: Lombroso e Ferrero, _La donna delinquente_, chap. 12.] [Footnote 56: Hyrtl, of Vienna, however, examined thirty subjects, and found the anomaly in question only three times, and exclusively in females.
