Pima Boys Girls PULSE-RATE IN RELATION TO STATURE IN THE INDIAN CHILD HRDLICKA) PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL OBSERVATIONS 103 The differences in the pulse rate as compared with the whites areseen to be pronounced and quite similar in the two tribes. In themales the scale of differences is practically the same; in the Apachefemales the differences in most of the groups are found to be slightlyless, this condition being due to the presence of a somewhatlarger proportion of cases with relatively rapid pulses, among thechildren of this tribe. The differences in pulse rate between the Apache and the Pima arequite insignificant. In the males of the two tribes the rate is nearlythe same; in the females the Apache show in most of the groups aslightly higher rate than the Pima. The reason for this was notdetected. The differences between the sexes in pulse rate are pronounced andpersistent in both tribes. Taking only the larger groups into con-sideration, these differences may be expressed in fig
