90 FAMILY STUDIES IN BUILD. 



his 2 brothers, one was 72 inches tall and died of kidney trouble; the other 

 was 67 inches tall. The Father's father, also a farmer all his life and very 

 strong, died at 60 years of apoplexy, having the formula 250/64 inches; 

 build 4.3 (61). This side of the house brings into the combination a ten- 

 dency to extreme fleshiness. 



The Mother, who was operated on for cancer, at 40 years had the formula 

 115/64 inches; build 2.0 (28). She had 12 sibs, of whom 3 were fleshy or 

 very fleshy. Her father, a carpenter, who died of Bright's disease at 70, had 

 the formula 160/72 inches; build 2.2 (31). Her mother, who died at 50 

 years of tuberculosis, had at 40 years of age the formula 120/65 inches; 

 build 2.0 (28) . This side of the house is prevailingly slender. The 2 children: 



1. Male, a college student and subject to migraine, has at 25 years the 

 formula 158/70 inches; build 2.3 (32) ; adjusted to 40 years, 169/70 inches; 

 build 2.4 (35). 



2. Female, a school girl, operated on at 16 for appendicitis, has at 25 

 years the formula 120/64 inches; build 2.1 (29); adjusted to 40 years, 

 135/64 inches; build 2.3 (33). 



Comment. — This mating of parents of stout and of slender stock results 

 in children who are still young and of only medium to slender build. It is to 

 be expected that the young man, at least, will become stout, approaching 

 his father's build (R : Dud-1). 



Elk-1 Family. 



A family of English extraction living in Massachusetts and New Hamp- 

 shire. The Father, a "superintendent," suffered in youth from pneumonia. 

 He is living at 47 years, having the formula 200/70 inches; build 2.9 (41). 

 One of his brothers died, at 43 years, from consumption of the stomach 

 "due to accident"; his formula, 175/70 inches; build 2.5 (36). Their mother 

 is living at 73 years, having the formula 160/60 inches; build 3.1 (44). 

 This side of the house is prevailingly fleshy. 



The Mother, who suffered in middle age from bronchial trouble, has at 

 49 years the formula 98/60.3 inches; build 2.0 (27). Her father, a farmer, 

 is living at 76 years with the formula 135/67.3 inches; build 2.1 (30). Her 

 mother, who suffered in middle age from bronchitis, pneumonia, and heart 

 trouble, is living at 68 years with the formula 124/62 inches; build 32. 

 This is a prevailingly slender family. The 4 children: 



1. Female, a student, has at 23 years the formula 120/64.5 inches; build 

 2.0 (29) ; adjusted to 48 years, 137/64.5 inches; build 2.2 (33). 



2. Female, a student, has at 21 years the formula 108/64.5 inches; build 

 1.8 (26) ; adjusted to 48 years, 126/64.5 inches; build 2.1 (30). 



3. Female, a student, has at 18 years the formula 107/61 inches; build 

 2.0 (29) ; adjusted to 48 years, 125/61 inches; build 2.4 (34). 



4. Female, a student, twin to No. 3, has at 18 years the formula 107/61.6 

 inches; build 1.9 (28) ; adjusted to 48 years, 127/61.6 inches; build 2.3 (33). 



Comment. — The children are all fairly young and have the youthful 

 slender and medium build. Even on adjustment they do not rise above the 

 medium class. Unfortunately, we do not know how this family develops 

 its index of build (R : Elk-1).
