138 FAMILY STUDIES IN BUILD. 



4 are fleshy, 2 medium. Their father was slender; their mother "short and 

 plump." 



There are 7 offspring from this mating between II 2 and 3: (1) III 1 9 , 

 at 66 years, is bedridden from a broken hip; tall, weight 77 kg. (170 

 pounds) ; chest-girth 108 cm. (42 inches) ; build, say, 2.8 (40) ; fleshy; she 

 was fleshy as a child of 10 years. (2) III 2 $ , died at 60 of paralysis, was 

 always slender. (3) III 3 $ , at 62 years, is tall (say, 71 inches) and 

 weighs 97.5 kg. (235 pounds) ; build 3.3 (47) ; very fleshy. (4) III 4 9 , at 

 56 years has the formula 91 kg. (200 pounds) ; 161 cm. (63.5 inches) ; build 

 3.4 (49) ; very fleshy; relative chest-girth 74 per cent. She was fleshy from 

 the age of 16 years. (5) III 5 9 , at 51 vears, is very fleshy; was a slender 

 child. (6) III 6 $ is fleshy. (7) III 8 9 , at 35 years weighed 86 kg. (190 

 pounds), but now at 50 she is a helpless invalid and has grown slender; she 

 was somewhat slender as a girl. Thus the offspring are 3 very fleshy, 2 

 fleshy, 1 always slender, and 1 formerly fleshv but reduced by illness 

 (73: 727). 



Smi Family. (Fig. 26.) 



I 1 6 died at 72 years of acute indigestion; said to have been very fleshy, 

 like his father. His wife, 12$, died at 68 years of paralysis. She was 

 less than 155 cm. (61 inches) tall and weighed 82 kg. (180 pounds) ; build 

 3.4 (48) ; very fleshy. She had 3 sibs, of whom it is known that 1 was fleshy; 

 the other 2 unknown. Her father was of medium build and had 3 children 

 by an earlier marriage, and of these 2 were slender and 1 fleshy. There 

 were 7 children from I 1 and 2. (1) II 1, a man who died at 69 of pneu- 

 monia and diabetes and whose stature is 173 cm. (68 inches) and weight 

 about 95 kg. (210 pounds) ; build 3.2 (45). (2) II 3 $ at 75 years is 155 

 cm. (61 inches) tall and weighs 82 kg. (180 pounds) ; build 3.4 (48). By a 

 stout consort she has 2 stout and 4 slender children. (3) II 9 9 , married, 

 at 74 years is 163 cm. (64 inches) tall and weighs 49 kg. (107 pounds) ; 

 build 1.8 (26) ; slender. By a slender husband she had one slender daughter, 

 build 1.9 (27), a slender son. and 2 other children who died young. (4) II 

 5 9 , fleshy. (5) II 6 9 , fleshy. (6) II 7 9 said to be 157 cm. (62 inches) 

 tall and to weigh 82 kg. (180 pounds) ; build 3.3 (47) ; very fleshy. (7) II 

 4 $ , at 55 years, fleshy. By a medium wife he had a son who at 26 years 

 weighs 77 kg. (170 pounds) and was fleshy as a growing boy. Of the 7 

 children, 1 is slender, 3 are fleshy, and 3 very fleshy (73 : 736). 



Thr-1 Family. (Fig. 33.) 



A family of English and French stock living in the middle western States. 

 The Father (II 8), whose occupation has been very shifting, who suffered 

 from "weak lungs" at 35 years, and who died at 81 years, had in middle 

 life the formula 140/72 inches; build 1.9 (27). But in answer to special 

 inquiry it appears that he "took on flesh" in later years. He has to be 

 recorded as fleshy. Of his 3 sisters, two are slender (both with cardiac 

 hypertrophy), and 1 is of fleshy build. The fat sister had 2 daughters who 

 weighed over 225 pounds each. His 2 brothers are slender. His father 

 (II), a blacksmith, died at 90 years, having the formula 150/71 inches; 

 build 2.1 (30). His mother, always well, died at 68 years, having the 

 formula 130/65 inches; build 2.2 (31); medium. This side of the house 

 carries both fleshy and slender strains, some of the slender individuals being 

 so, probably, through disease. Apparently the Father is heterozygous for 

 fleshiness, perhaps one reason why he became fleshy late in life. 



The Mother (II 9) suffered from arthritis deformans and died at 79 years.
