Body weight of the Norway on the body weight of the Albino. 

 Formula (49) gives the body weight of the Norway on the body 

 weight of the Albino for a limited range of Albino body weights. 



Tail length on body length. The tail length on the body

spectively. As can be seen by consulting table 85 the males have

 the Albino. In chart 30 are given the corresponding graphs. 



Brain weight on body weight. The direct determinations of 

 the weight of the brain have been made on 232 males and 278 

 females. The general formula (52) expresses the relation of 

 brain weight on body weight for the sexes combined. 



It applies however only to rats with a body weight above 

 five grams.
