Many a times, only skull is brought for medico legal identification, this necessitates to correlate the metric traits of the skeletal remains with the stature. The present study was conducted on 300 individuals in a tertiary care hospital of Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The study showed a significant co-relation between head length and stature.
