(4) No case of actual Gigantism has been seen. Tallness or shortness often 
runs in families. The tallest man I have ever seen measured 1'92 metres. He 
was the father of an albinotic child and had internal strabismus but no signs of 
acromegaly (see Plate I, (2)). Another man who T have not seen but who was 
measured by Dr Davey at Kota Kota was 20 metres in height. No case of 
Acromegaly has been seen by myself. 
(5) The following case in the want of development of the lower jaw and 
zygomatic arches might be considered as the converse to acromegaly (Fig. 2). 
From the sketch the subject will at once be recognised as a type of Congenital 
Idiot, the above-mentioned features and ill-formed pinnae together with the rather 
bird-like appearance being characteristic.
