 84 kg. (184 pounds); build 3.6 (51); very fleshy; relative chest-girth 

 112 -T- 152, or 74 per cent. She has 3 fleshy and 2 slender sibs. Of their 

 parents one was fleshy and one slender. Thus II 8 is heterozygous.

 fleshy.

 (46) ; very fleshy. Thus there are 3 very fleshy, 1 fleshy, and 2 slender 

 children. The Mother's heterozygosity is inferred from the variability of 

 the progeny in build. 



II 14 $ , fleshy, and II 15 9 , slender, have 2 sons, both slender (73 : 676).
