with age. When compared with those of the male, the glands 
of the female, body weight for body weight, contain relatively 
less medulla. The difference, however, is slight, less than 2 
per cent (chart 1). 
Results found by the reconstruction method are comparable 
with results of growth expressed by weight (chart 4).
