Jan., 1930] RECTANGLE PROPORTIONS IN COMPOSITION 45 figures (this term "many" is defined as applying to all figure groupings containing more than twenty-five members) none of the vertical type are found and the ratio values in the case of both subdivisions of this group are relatively high. Those compositions falling within the last subdivision, VII, are also fairly homogeneous with respect to their ratio values. No vertical compositions appear and the mean value for R is relatively high. The results of this statistical analysis are summarized in Table V. As shown by the total at the bottom of the second column 460 compositions are included. Columns 3 to 7 give information as to the character of the groups used in this classification. In the columns "Min." and "Max." are the minimum and maximum values of R TABLE IV Ratio of Width to Height for Composition Including Many Figures, and for Landscapes Classification VI (a) VI (&) VII 1.35 1.33 1.30 1.50 1.33 1.35 1.51 .35 1.37 1.51 .41 .41 1.53 .53 .43 1.61 .56 .45 1.61 .57 .45 1.61 .66 .49 1.66 .66 .51 1.72 .72 .51 1.81 .81 .54 1.88 .81 .54 .88 .56 .88 .56 .96 .56 .57 .61 .64 .66 .69 .72 .75 .78 .88 .96 Mean ratio 1.61 1.63 1.57 Number of pictures 12 18 25
