Then in 1702 the French astronomer Philippe de la Hire used a year he labeled at the end of years labeled ante Christum ( BC ), and immediately before years labeled post Christum ( AD ) on the mean motion pages in his Tabulæ Astronomicæ, thus adding the designation 0 to Kepler's Christi.

There the middle one of the three curves denotes `` mean Skeletal Age '' for the Maturity Series boys and girls.

As one approach to doing this, Figures 3 and 4 have be constructed from the mean ages and the individual onset and completion ages for boy 34 and girl 2.

The `` dot '' on one end of each arrow indicates extent of difference in months between the child's onset age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center.

The `` tip '' of the arrow represents extent of difference between the child's completion age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center.

Thus, the alignment of the `` dots '' and `` tips '', respectively, indicate individual variability of the 21 growth centers of each child with respect to the mean values for these boys and girls.
