1831 W. Whewell Let. 12 Nov. in I. Todhunter William Whewell (1876) II. 135 There is a problem in Biometry (if you choose to call your calculations on lives by a Greek name) which may perhaps be included.

1871 Boston Daily Advertiser 14 Jan. The subject of Biometry, as the science which treats of the laws of the duration of life is now called.

1896 Racine (Wisconsin) Daily Jrnl. 18 Nov. 4/3 F. W. Warner spoke upon the subject of ‘Biometry’. Mr. Warner began his discussion by explaining that the subject was a science treating of the measure of life and the laws and conditions which govern its duration.

2. The branch of science that deals with the statistical analysis of numerical data relating to living organisms, esp. concerning genetic relationships or medical conditions. Cf. anthropometry n.
