This table was constructed to facilitate the interpretation of differences in mean annual egg production. For each of the pairs of years listed, the difference between the means was found, its probable error calculated by the usual method, and the difference then divided by its probable error. The quotient

- for each pair of years has been entered at the intersection of their columns. Thus the difference in mean production between 1911 and 1912 is .15 times its probable error; between 1911 and 1913 the difference is equal to 1.32 times its probable error, etc.
