62 FAMILY STUDIES IN BUILD. 



The Mother, who is living at 50 years, has the formula 115/65 inches; 

 build 1.9 (27). Two children: 



1. Female, a student (married), has at 25 years the formula 110/66.5 

 inches; build 1.8 (25). 



2. Female, a student, has at 22 years the formula 120/68 inches; build 

 1.8 (26). 



Comment. — Both children are now slender, but may approach a medium 

 weight as they grow older (R : Lou-2). 



McA-2 Family. 



A Scotch-English family living chiefly in Ohio. The Father, a farmer, 

 had an attack of diphtheria in middle life, is energetic, and, at 62 years, 

 has the formula 135/70 inches; build 1.9 (28). His sister died of tuber- 

 culosis. Their father, somewhat easy-going, was a farmer, had typhoid fever 

 and died of cancer at 68 years. His formula, 135/72 inches; build 1.8 (26). 

 Their mother, of mediocre activity and mentality, died at 36 years, having 

 borne 4 children. Two of her sisters died of pneumonia. She was of 

 medium build. This side of the house tends to slenderness. 



The Mother, who once had typhoid fever and is physically active, has. at 

 60 years, the formula 120/65 inches; build 2.0 (28)/ Her father, who had 

 typhoid fever in the army and was very active, had the formula 180/74 

 inches; build 2.3 (33). The Mother's mother, who was also very active, 

 was of medium build. This side of the house brings in a slender-medium 

 tendency. Three children: 



1. Female, a teacher, who has had typhoid fever and her tonsils and 

 appendix removed, is energetic, and has a formula at 30 years of 109/64 

 inches; build 1.9 (27). 



2. Male, a student and farmer, who has had diphtheria and typhoid fever, 

 energetic, at 28 years has the formula 135/69 inches; build 2.0 (28). 



3. Male, student and farmer, who has always been well, energetic, weighed 

 9 pounds at birth, formula at 23 years, 138/69 inches; build 2.1 (29). 



Comment. — The unadjusted build of the children averages the same as 

 the parents and differs little from them; it is hardly probable that they will 

 reach the adjusted weight. 



McC-11 Family. 



A family of Scotch and English extraction, living in the Middle West and 

 northwestern United States. The Father, who is a proof-reader, suffered 

 in youth from fever and ague. He is living at 74 years, having at 48 years 

 the formula 140/68 inches; build 2.1 (30). His father, who was a farmer, 

 died at 87 years from dysentery. At 40 years, his formula 160/T; build 

 say 2.3 (33). Their mother, who had 4 children, died at 29 years "prob- 

 ably from effects of child-birth." At 26 years she was of medium build. 

 This side of the house probably contributes a tendency to slender or slender- 

 medium build.

 age from nervous prostration and abscess. She is living at 60 years, having

 of medium build. Her mother, who had 4 children, died in child-birth, at 

 27 years; she was of medium build. This side of the house, likewise, con- 

 tributes a tendency to slender or medium build. Two children:
