Mating 3. Very Slender x Very Fleshy. 



Mention may be made of one example of this extreme mating, 

 namely, of a very fleshy man with a very slender woman, wh< 

 slenderness may be due to the fact that she had formerly suffered an 

 acute attack of tuberculosis. The two children are still young I L9 

 and 21 years), but are already 3 and 5 points respectively above 

 average build (English system), suggesting dominance of flesbin*
