Comment. — The unadjusted builds of 4 of the children is a little less than 

 the parental builds of 30 and 29. The adjusted builds are a point <>r I 

 higher. In the case of child No. 2 we have an exceptionally large index 

 of build for this fraternity of 2.3 (33). It is possible that the tubercular 

 tendency on both sides may have pulled down the hereditary potentiality of 

 one or both parents (R : Wil-23).
