The second observation is that the severest punishments were applied only to the seat. There were 30 incidents where six strokes were given, and all were applied to the seat. (of the 30 data points, there was a one-off 5-stroke entry. Due to tabulation brevity, this was included in the 6-stroke data point.)
Other notes: several students could be identified as the same person even though spellings differed beyond the usual shortening of names (such as “Tony” for “Anthony”, etc.) and because age and classroom number was included with the entries. In tougher cases, the class number along with the other boys being punished alongside (guilty by association) were convincing clues in determining the same identities.
