^aModified from table 2 in [22]. Minor discrepancies between the percentages reported here and in [22] arise from inconsistency in the rounding of figures in the latter.

^bThe corresponding variable is data column 10 in [22]. I changed ‘bilateral descent’ in the original to ‘no rule’; see §4a for details.

^cThe corresponding variable is data column 9 in [22], focusing here on ‘the prevailing practice of residence after marriage’ (i.e. excluding information on ‘an alternative but less frequent residential pattern or one confined to a particular phase of the developmental cycle’) [22, p. 261]. I changed ‘matrilocal’ in the original to ‘uxorilocal’, and ‘patrilocal’ to ‘virilocal’; see §4a for details. One society (Botocudo, #178) lacks data for this variable; percentages in the right-most column relate to the remaining 185 societies.
