22 years the formula 126/66 inches; build 2.0 (29); adjusted to 45 years, 

 142/66 inches; build 2.3 (33).

 the formula 124/67 inches; build 2.0 (28); adjusted to 45 years, 143/67 

 inches; build 2.3 (32). 



Comment. — The tuberculous tendency of the Mother's fraternity and of 

 the Father's father reappears in at least one of the children. None is as 

 slender as the Mother, and all approach the medium grade (R : Bic-1). 



Gru-1 Family. 



A family of English and German extraction living mostly in Pennsylvania 

 and New Jersey. The Father, a school-teacher and principal, is living at 

 52 years, having had at 45 years the formula 134/66 inches; build 2.2 (31). 

 One of his brothers died of "consumption" and was apparently slender. 

 His father, a farmer, often mentally depressed, is living at 75 years, and has 

 a "medium" build. His mother, who had 10 children, and who suffered 

 in middle age from rheumatism, is living at 73 years, and is of "medium" 

 build. Thus the paternal inheritance is toward medium build; the father 

 possibly heterozygous. 



The Mother suffered in middle age from inflammatory rheumatism; she 

 has at 40 years the formula 106/66 inches; build 1.7 (24). Her father, 

 a farmer, of medium build, died at 77 years from pneumonia. Her mother, 

 who had 6 children, died at 77 years from arterio-sclerosis ; she was slender. 

 Thus the maternal build is prevailingly slender, though the grandfather is 

 of medium build. The 3 children: 



1. Female, a teacher, who in youth suffered from diphtheria, has at 20 

 years the formula 110/65 inches; build 1.8 (26); adjusted to 42 years, 

 125/65 inches; build 2.1 (30). 



2. Female, a student, who in youth suffered from infantile paralysis, has 

 at 18 years the formula 120/64 inches; build 2.1 (29) ; adjusted to 42 years, 

 136/64 inches; build 2.3 (33). 



3. Female, at 13 years, has already the build of her next older sister. 

 Comment. — All the children have a heavier build than the slenderer 



parent and approach a medium build (R : Gru-1). 



Ise-2 Family. 



A family of Swiss and French origin living in Kansas. The Father, who 

 is of Swiss parentage, a farmer, is living at 86 years, having the formula 

 150/68 inches; build 2.3 (32). His father, a farmer, died of consumption, 

 having the formula 120/68 inches; build 1.8 (26). His mother, who had 

 8 children, died at 82 years from pneumonia, having the formula 130/65 

 inches; build 2.2 (31). This side of the house is of mixed slender-medium

 been a farmer's wife in Kansas. She has been operated upon for glaucoma, 

 is living at 72 years, and has the formula 88/62 inches; build 1.6 (23). 

 Her father, a farmer, died from neuralgia of heart, having the formula 

 130/65 inches; build 2.2 (31). Her mother, who had 3 children, died at 46 

 years, suddenly, perhaps from appendicitis, having the formula 115/65 

 inches; build 1.9 (27). The maternal side of the house has thus a build 

 ranging from very slender to slender-medium. The 8 children about whom 

 information is given are:
