The girls' lead in height therefore lasts 2y2 years (12.0—14^/2), in weight

On table 5 we see a comparison in weight between the public school 

 boys and the material from Stavanger mentioned on page 9. The other 

 investigations mentioned in the same place — the districts of Mjösen 

 and Horten — only refer to height.
