Chefoo, working in the silk filatures there, or away fishing1, or

tions and objections considered above, it would seem that none
of them are sufficient to account for this difference, and it
appears to be permissible to conclude that the difference in the
ratio of females to males as between West and East marks a
corresponding physiological difference. In what exactly this
physiological difference has its root cannot be ascertained...”
