In an earlier “Note on Selection from a Normal Multivariate Population” the author considered the transformation of an n-variate normal population induced by “selection” operating to alter the parameters of frequency in a subset of p variates, while preserving normal frequency in the subset. The results were new in notation only; in substance they were first found by K. Pearson.

page 38 note 3 I have ventured to introduce this neologism in order to avoid the confusion resulting from the use of the same word with different meanings in other branches ofmathematics. “Covariance” is fully appropriated elsewhere in another sense.
