110 FAMILY STUDIES IN BUILD. 



grandparents vary from 27 to 43. This case suggests the uniformity of 

 F x and variability of F 2 (R : Cas-4). 



Smi Family. 



The Father, of Scandinavian name and living in New York City, at 50 

 years has a stature of 171 cm. (67 inches); weight 70 kg. (154 pounds); 

 build 2.4 (34.5) ; medium. His father is said to have been slender, his 

 mother fleshy; his sibs intermediate; one fleshy after 48 years. The Mother, 

 at 41 years, has a stature 162 cm. (64 inches) ; weight 61 kg. (136 pounds) ; 

 build 2.3 (33) ; medium; relative chest-girth 76-^ 162, or 47 per cent. She 

 has a slender brother and one who is of more medium build. Their parents 

 were of medium build; their mother's father was fleshy (build 2.7 or 39) ; 

 their mother's mother was "slender." 



There is only one child of above mating. She was a full-term baby, who 

 weighed 3.8 kg. (8.5 pounds) , somewhat above the average. She was always 

 plump as a child and, until 11 years of age. always well. Then she had 

 "disease of the tonsils" and of the kidneys (infection) , grew thin (weighing 

 only 40 kg. [90 pounds]), and developed a chorea. After a year she re- 

 covered and began to gain steadily in weight, and now at the age of 13.7 

 years she is 170 cm. (67 inches) tall, weighs 79 kg. (174 pounds) and has 

 a build of 2.7 (39) ; is fleshy. Relative chest-girth 102 ^- 170, or 60 per cent. 

 Her arms and calves are relatively slender, as they have recently been 

 engaged in linear growth. She has monthly headaches. (Plate 9, fig. 5.) 



Comment. — It seems probable that this girl has received factors for 

 fleshiness from each medium parent, which have combined to give her a 

 full set of fleshy factors (73 :736).
