92 FAMILY STUDIES IN BUILD. 



pounds) ; build 2.9 (42), fleshy; relative chest-girth 92-=- 153, or 61 per cent. 

 She has always been fleshy, was formerly more so than now. Married to 

 a man of medium build, there were 4 children, 2 slender, and 1 fleshy* and 



I very fleshy. II 16 $ died at 48 of "heart disease," very fleshy. II 17 9 , 

 stature 151 cm. (59 inches); weight 56 kg. (124 pounds); build 2.5 (36), 

 fleshy-medium; relative chest-girth 95-^-151, or 63 per cent. II 18 9 

 fleshy. II 20 9 , very fleshy, has 3 slender children. II 21 9 fleshy. 



II 22 $ of medium build. II 23 9 , at 31 years, stature 150 cm. (59 

 inches) ; weight 69 kg. (151 pounds) ; build 3.0 (43 per cent), fleshy. Rela- 

 tive chest-girth 100 -f- 150, or 67 per cent. Thus, of the 8 children 2 are of 

 medium build, 4 fleshy, and 2 very fleshy. 



Ofi Family, C. (Fig. 35.) 



II 2 $ , slender, married II 3, at 40 years fleshy and heterozygous, and 

 had 4 children. Ill 1 $ fleshy ; III 2 $ of medium build, and III 3 $ , 

 4 $ twins, slender. Thus 1 fleshy, 1 medium, and 2 slender. 



Comment. — Mating B is apparently that of a nearly homozygous domi- 

 nant fleshy mated to a slender, and producing fleshy and very fleshy off- 

 spring and 2 who are just below fleshy build (73 : 697). 



Smi Family. 



II 1 $ (fig. 26), at 50, stature 173 cm. (68 inches); and weight 90 to 

 100 kg. (200 to 215 pounds) ; build 3.2 (45), very fleshy. As a lad he was 

 very slender, but at 28 years began to grow fleshy. 



Married a woman who, at 68 years, has a stature of 150 cm. (59 inches), 

 weight 45 kg. (100 pounds) ; build 2.0 (30), slender. They had 8 children: 



(1) Male, at 50 years, stature 165 cm. (65 inches); weight 80 kg. (175 

 pounds); build 2.9 (41), fleshy; slender as a child. (2) 9 , at 48 years, 

 stature 155 cm. (61 inches); weight 79 kg. (174 pounds); build 3.3 (47), 

 very fleshy; was slender until about 16 years of age. (3) 9 , at 46 years, 

 stature 155 cm. (61 inches); weight 86 kg. (190 pounds); build 3.6 (51), 

 very fleshy; was slender until 20 years old. By a slender husband she has 

 3 children, 13 to 5 years of age, all slender, but the eldest boy growing 

 fleshier. (4) 9 died at 28 years of kidney trouble, aggravated by child- 

 birth; at that time she was slender. (5) 9 , at 34 years, stature 155 cm. 

 (61 inches) ; weight 82 kg. (180 pounds) ; build 3.4 (48), very fleshy, rather 

 uniformly over the body. She was fleshy as a child; then became slender 

 and remained so up to the age of 16 or 18 years. By a slender man she has 

 3 children, all young and slender. (6) $ , at 31 years of medium build with 

 a tendency to grow fleshier, by a slender wife has a slender child. (7) $ , 

 at 29 years, stature 157 cm. (62 inches); weight now about 62 kg. (135 

 pounds); build 2.5 (35), fleshy-medium, and varying inversely with his 

 activity. (8) $ , at 24 years, stature 168 cm. (66 inches) ; weight 59 kg. 

 (130 pounds) ; build 2.1 (30), medium-slender, but this is the age when in 

 this family they first begin to put on flesh. 



Comment. — This is an exceedingly instructive family; first, because they 

 are all slender until 20 to 25 and then begin to grow fleshier. The hete- 

 rozygous condition of fleshiness retards the full development of the trait, 

 as so often seen in genetics. It is probable that III 1 is nearly homozygous 

 for fleshiness (73 : 736).
