ACH-2 FAMILY.

A family of English and probable Scotch stock. The family residence

is now located in Oregon, in which State the 3 children of the third

generation were born. The Father, a mechanic, inclined to rheumatism and

nervousness, has at 50 years the formula 150/69 inches; build 2.3 (32).

His sibs are all tall (and presumably slender). His father, a farmer,

died when 78 years old, having at 40 years the formula 150/69 inches;

build 2.2 (32). His mother, after having borne 6 sons and 5 daughters,

died of cancer at 70 years. At that time she had the formula 125/62

inches; build 2.3 (33). Thus, the Father’s fraternity, though their

parents were of medium build, apparently carries a slender tendency.

The Mother suffers from “rheumatism”; she is “always busy” and is living

at 51 years, with the formula 93/61 inches; build 1.8 (25). Her father,

a farmer, died at 82 with the formula 150/69 inches; build 2.2 (32). Her

mother, having had 5 sons and 4 daughters, died of “heart trouble” at 42

years. She had the formula 100/61 inches; build 1.9 (27). Thus this side

of the house inclines toward slenderness. The 3 children are:

1. Female, a bookkeeper and “nervous,” at 26 has the formula 95/65

inches; build 1.6 (23); adjusted to 50 years, 112/65 inches; build 1.8

(27).

2. Female, a bookkeeper, and “energetic” and “nervous,” at 22 has the

formula 120/67 inches; build 1.9 (27); adjusted to 50 years, 139/67

inches; build 2.2 (31).

3. Female, a bookkeeper and “energetic, impulsive, and agile,” has at 23

the formula 112/63 inches; build 1.9 (28); adjusted to 50 years, 129/63

inches; build 2.3 (33).

_Comment._—A medium Father of medium and slender stock marries a

slender, nervous woman who has a slender mother. One of the children is

exceptionally slender and two are slender according to the unadjusted

index. It is very doubtful if the most slender child would ever acquire

the adjusted index of 27, though children Nos. 2 and 3, energetic and

agile at 23 and 22 years respectively, with builds 1.9 (28) and 2.0 (27),

may well acquire a medium build by maturity if they become less active

(R: Ach-2).

BIC-1 FAMILY.

A family of English and French extraction living mostly in Kentucky

and Indiana. The Father, a newspaper publisher, suffered in youth from

typhoid fever. He is living at 52 years, having at 45 years the formula

175/72 inches; build 2.4 (34). His father, a justice of the peace, died

at 39 years from pulmonary tuberculosis contracted during the Civil War.

At 26 years he had the formula 140/70 inches; build 20 (29). His mother,

who had 4 children, suffered in middle age from cancer. She is living at

76 years. At 40 years her formula was 160/68 inches; build 2.4 (35). Thus

the father is of mixed ancestry; he is probably heterozygous in respect

to build.

The Mother has been subject to tuberculosis of throat and lungs. She is

living at 51 years, having at 45 years the formula 102/64 inches; build

1.7 (24). Four of her sibs died from tuberculosis of throat and lungs.

Her father, a revenue collector, suffered in youth from rheumatism and in

middle age from “very bad throat trouble.” He died at 85 years from old

age. At 45 years he was of medium build. Her mother, who had 9 children,

always well, died at 85 years from malignant tumor. At 45 years she was

slender. This side of the house is very slender, largely on account of

tuberculosis. The grandfather is of medium build; the grandmother was

nervously active and slender. The 3 children:

1. Female, a social worker, who in youth suffered from diphtheria,

tonsillitis, and adenoids, has at 23 years the formula 105/64 inches;

build 1.8 (26); adjusted to 45 years, 2.1 (29). (R: Bic-1.)

2. Female, a college graduate, who in youth suffered from tonsillitis,

scarlet fever, and appendicitis and had a tendency to consumption, has

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

years, 142/66 inches; build 2.3 (33).

3. Female, a student, who has a “nervous temperament,” has at 18 years

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

build.

The Mother, who has had 11 children, is of French-Swiss stock and has

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:

1. Male, a college professor, died at 42 years after an operation for

appendicitis, having the formula 125/68 inches; build 1.9 (27); adjusted

to 55+ years, 129/68 inches; build 2.0 (28).

2. Female, a librarian, who in youth suffered from pneumonia, in middle

age from a nervous breakdown, has at 47 years the formula 112/60 inches;

build 2.2 (31).

3. Female, a stenographer, who in middle age suffered from fever (in

Africa), has at 45 years the formula 117/63 inches; build 2.1 (30).

4. Male, a college professor, always well, has at 41 years the formula

170/70 inches; build 2.4 (35); adjusted to 55+ years, 175/70 inches;

build 2.5 (36).

5. Male, a merchant, has at 39 years the formula 160/70 inches; build 2.3

(33); adjusted to 55+ years, 166/70 inches; build 2.4 (34).

6. Male, a merchant, who in youth suffered from acute rheumatism and

leakage of heart, has at 36 years the formula 165/72 inches; build 2.2

(32); adjusted to 55+ years, 172/72 inches; build 2.3 (33).

7. Male, an editor, who in middle age has suffered from pleurisy and

pneumonia, has at 33 years the formula 150/71 inches; build 2.1 (30);

adjusted to 55+ years, 159/71 inches; build 2.2 (32).

8. Male, a newspaper reporter, of unknown build.

_Comment._—All children, except the first, who was of a nervous, active

type and died prematurely, are of medium build, mostly slightly fleshier

than the stockier parent (R: Ise-2).

MIL-A FAMILY.

A family probably of old American (English) stock, living in Los Angeles,

California. The Father, at 70 years, had the formula 170/68.5 inches;

build 2.5 (36). Of his sibs, 1 is slender, 1 medium, and 4 are fleshy.

His father, at 70 years, had the formula 180/68 inches; build 2.7 (39).

His mother, at 70 years, had the formula 120/66 inches; build 1.9 (28).

Thus the Father is of mixed fleshy and slender origin.

The Mother, at 85 years, had the formula 100/67 inches; build 1.6 (22).

Her father, at 70 years, 175/70 inches; build 2.5 (35). Her mother, at 70

years, 135/67 inches; build 2.1 (30). Thus, the maternal parent is very

slender with slender to medium grandparents. The 6 children are:

1. Male, at 56 years, has the formula 224/72 inches; build 3.1 (43).

2. Male, at 53 years, 190/72 inches; build 2.6 (37).

3. Female, at 27 years, 130/67 inches; build 2.0 (29); adjusted to 55

years, 148/67 inches; build 2.3 (33).

4. Female, at 64 years, 100/68 inches; build 1.5 (22).

5. Female, at 50 years, 140/67 inches; build 2.2 (31).

6. Female, at 59 years, 190/67 inches; build 3.0 (42).

_Comment._—The children vary from slender to fleshy; thus two have a

heavier build than any ancestor described (S:Mil-A).

WIT-2 FAMILY.

A family of English and Irish extraction; paternal grandparents living

in the Middle States and California. The Father, a merchant, suffered

in middle age from pneumonia. He is living at 75 years. At 70 years his

formula was 155/69 inches; build 2.3 (33). His father, a farmer, died

at 86 years from dropsy. At 70 years his formula was 140/73 inches;

build 1.8 (26). His mother, who had 8 children, died from consumption.

At 50 years she was of medium build. Thus this side of the house is

prevailingly of medium build, but the Father’s father was slender,

consequently the Father is probably heterozygous for build.

The Mother suffered in middle age from insanity and consumption, having

the formula 100/68 inches; build 1.5 (22). Two of her 4 sibs who reached

maturity died from consumption. Their father, a farmer, died at 74

years from bladder trouble. At 50 years he was of medium build. Their

mother, who had 4 children, died from consumption. In this family the

very slender stature is probably controlled by lung tuberculosis. The 3

children are:

1. Male, a machinist, who was accidentally killed at 19 years, 145/69

inches; build 2.1 (30); adjusted to 55 years, 168/71 inches; build 2.4

(34).

2. Male, retired, who in youth suffered from dysentery and pneumonia;

in middle age from indigestion, internal catarrh, tuberculosis,

appendicitis, and malaria, has at 44 years the formula 140/69.5 inches;

build 2.0 (29).

3. Female, who was “very healthy” in youth, but in middle age had mental

“nervous troubles,” has at 40 years the formula 100/64 inches; build 1.7

(24); adjusted to 55 years, 106/64 inches; build 1.8 (26).

_Comment._—The children of this mating are mixed slender to medium; one

of the children is feeble-minded and is very slender; one who is slender

has had active tuberculosis and much other illness; the third, who died

at 19, had an average build. The record is complicated by disease (R:

Wit-2).

HOL-A FAMILY.

A family from Illinois. The Father at 55 years has the formula: 180/68

inches; build 2.7 (39).

The Mother, at 50 years, has the formula: 100/66 inches; build 1.6 (23).

The 9 children are:

(1) Female, at 30 years, has the formula 180/65 inches; build 3.0 (43);

adjusted to 55 years, 194/65 inches; build 3.2 (46).

(2) Male, at 30 years, 130/66 inches; build 2.1 (30); adjusted to 55

years, 139/66 inches; build 2.3 (32).

(3) Male, at 27 years, 170/68 inches; build 2.6 (37); adjusted to 55

years, 183/68 inches; build 2.8 (40).

(4) Male, at 25 years, 165/74 inches; build 2.1 (30); adjusted to 55

years, 184/74 inches; build 2.4 (34).

(5) Male, at 29 years, 140/68 inches; build 2.1 (30); adjusted to 55

years, 151/68 inches; build 2.3 (33).

(6) Male, at 26 years, 125/72 inches; build 1.7 (24).

(7) Female, at 24 years, 140/69 inches; build 2.1 (29); adjusted to 55

years, 161/69 inches; build 2.4 (34).

(8) Female, at 22 years, 110/72 inches; build 1.5 (21); adjusted to 55

years, 130/72 inches; build 1.8 (25).

(9) Female, at 20 years, has the formula 100/64 inches; build 1.7 (24);

adjusted to 55 years, 119/64 inches; build 2.0 (29).

_Comment._—The children vary greatly from very slender to stout or even,

adjusted, to very stout. One of them is much stouter than either parent.

Probably the Father is heterozygous (S:Hol-A).

LAW-A FAMILY.

A family from Georgia. The Father, at 30 years, had the formula 200/68

inches; build 3.0 (43). His brothers were “all stout.” His father, at 30

years, had the formula 160/69 inches; build 2.4 (34). The fleshy father

carries factors for at least medium build.

The Mother, at 30 years, had the formula 100/65 inches; build 1.7 (24).

Her brothers were all of “medium” build. Her sisters are: 1 slender, 1

medium, and 2 fleshy. Their father, at 30 years, had the formula 170/70

inches; build 2.4 (35). The 4 children:

1. Male, at 30 years, had the formula 190/68 inches; build 2.9 (41).

2. Female, at 30 years, 110/61 inches; build 2.1 (30).

3. Female, at 30 years, 100/60 inches; build 2.0 (28).

4. Female, at 30 years, 130/61 inches; build 2.5 (35).

_Comment._—A fleshy man of medium stock has by a very slender woman of

mixed stock in respect to build, 4 children—2 slender, 1 medium, and 1

fleshy (S:Law-A).

WAT-5 FAMILY.

A family of English extraction; grandparents living in Massachusetts,

Michigan, England, Utah, and Montana; parents and children living in Utah

and Montana. The Father, a miner, suffered in middle age from pneumonia

and died at 64 years from chronic bronchitis. At 60 years his formula was

190/72 inches; build 2.6 (37). His father, a farmer, died at 37 years.

The Father had a fleshy sister, at least 3 of whose children were fleshy.

His mother died at 38 years. Apparently, a fleshy strain on the Father’s

father’s side; Father’s mother’s side unknown.

The Mother, who had 7 children, suffered in youth from scarlet fever and

lung fever, is living at 60 years, having the formula 107/65.5 inches;

build 1.8 (25). Her 4 sibs are “thin.” Their father, a lawyer, suffered

at 23 years from scarlet fever, died from an accident at 42. Two of his

sibs were “very large” and tall. Her mother, who had 9 children, died

at 76 years from pneumonia; she was slender and so was her sister. Thus

the slender Mother has both slender and fleshy close relations. The 5

children who grew up are:

1. Female, married, who in youth suffered from scarlet fever, has at 37

years the formula 109/67 inches; build 1.7 (24); adjusted to 55 years,

119/67 inches; build 1.9 (27).

2. Male, a miner, who in youth suffered from scarlet fever, tonsillitis,

and throat trouble, has at 34 years the formula 185/71 inches; build 2.6

(37); adjusted to 55 years, 193/71 inches; build 2.7 (38).

3. Female, married, who in youth suffered from scarlet fever, has, at 31

years, the formula 128/66 inches; build 2.0 (29); adjusted to 55 years,

143/66 inches; build 2.3 (33).

4. Female, married, who in youth suffered from throat trouble, underwent

a tonsillectomy and appendectomy, has at 25 years the formula 120/65.5

inches; build 2.0 (28); adjusted to 55 years, 138/65.5 inches; build 2.3

(32).

5. Female, married, has at 21 years, the formula 120/65.5 inches; build

2.0 (28); adjusted to 55 years, 140/65.5 inches; build 2.3 (33).

_Comment._—The adjusted build of the children show 1 slender (unadjusted,

very slender), 3 medium, and 1 fleshy, suggesting a heterozygous

parentage. This family has been placed in this category, despite

absence of information about the Father’s parents, because of the great

variability of the children (R: Wat-5).

GUI-3 FAMILY.

A family of Scandinavian extraction, living mostly in Kansas. The Father,

a farmer, who suffered in middle age from asthma, has at 74 years the

formula 125/68 inches; build 1.9 (27).

The Mother has at 60 years the formula 150/62 inches; build 2.7 (39). Her

father, a farmer, died at 83 years from senile dementia. At 75 years his

formula was 150/S inches; build, say, 2.4 (34). Her mother, who had 6

children, died at 84 years, “probably senility.” At 75 years her formula

was 120/M inches; build, say, 2.1 (30). The 8 children:

1. Female, married, suffered in youth and middle age from heart trouble,

following rheumatism. At 40 years she has the formula 110/62 inches;

build 2.0 (29); adjusted to 55 years, 116/62 inches; build 2.1 (30).

2. Male, a farmer, who in youth suffered from rheumatism, has at 33 years

the formula 135/67 inches; build 2.1 (30); adjusted to 55 years, 144/67

inches; build 2.3 (33).

(complete recovery), has at 31 years the formula 150/64 inches; build 2.6

(37); adjusted to 55 years, 162/64 inches; build 2.7 (39).

6. Male, a farmer, has at 29 years the formula 153/70 inches; build 2.2

(31); adjusted to 55 years, 166/70 inches; build 2.4 (34).

(33); adjusted to 55+ years, 164/67 inches; build 2.6 (37).

_Comment._—One-half of the children may be expected to exceed the mean

build of the parents, and 2 to equal or exceed the fleshy build of the

Mother (R: Gui-3).

HOK-1 FAMILY.

A family of German and English extraction, living in Illinois, Colorado,

and Iowa. The Father, who is a carpenter, always well, is living at 63

years, having the formula 180/70 inches; build 2.6 (37). His father, who

was a manufacturer, always well, died at 72 years from a fistula. At 72

years his formula 175/70 inches; build 2.5 (36). The father’s mother died

at about 48 years; was of slender build.

The Mother, always well, has at 62 years the formula 105/62 inches;

build 1.9 (27). Her father, who was a coal-mine owner, died at 46 years

from exposure during Civil War. At 45 years his formula 140/67 inches;

the formula 160/70 inches; build 2.3 (33); adjusted to 55+ years, 168/70

inches; build 2.4 (34).

2. Male, always well, has at 26 years the formula 165/72 inches; build

2.2 (32); adjusted to 55 years, 181/72 inches; build 2.5 (35).

_Comment._—Both children are of medium build, fairly close to that of the

fleshier parent (R: Hok-1).

HOT-1 FAMILY.

A family of English extraction, living mostly in New York State. The

Father, who is a carpenter, suffered in middle age from pneumonia. He is

living at 51 years, having the formula 150/71 inches; build 2.1 (30). His

father, who was a farmer, died at 69 years from apoplexy; was of medium

build. His mother, who had 6 children, at 50 years was slender.

The Mother is living at 50 years, having the formula 150/61 inches;

build 2.8 (40). Her father, who was a grocer, suffered in youth from

rheumatism; in middle age from typhoid fever. He died at 61 years from

Bright’s disease. At 61 years he was slender. Her mother, who had 3

children, was always well. She died at 79 years from cerebral hemorrhage;

she was said to be slender.

One son, a teacher, always well, has at 25 years the formula 140/67

inches; build 2.2 (31); adjusted to 50 years, 151/67 inches; build 2.3

(33).

_Comment._—The son is intermediate in build between the parents (R:

Hot-1).

HUL-2 FAMILY.

A rural New York family of prevailingly English origin. The Father, a

business man, always well, had, at 50 years, the formula 140/68 inches;

build 2.1 (30). His father, who died of “rheumatism of the stomach” at

80 years, had the formula 160/69 inches; build 2.4 (34). His mother, who

died at 82 years of old age, with dropsical tendencies, had the formula

95/62 inches; build 1.7 (25). This family has a build at or below the

average.

The Mother, who suffered much from sick headache and “rheumatism,” and in

later years from diabetes mellitus, had, at 50 years, the formula 150/64

inches; build 2.6 (37). Her father, who suffered from migraine, had the

formula 155/67 inches; build 2.4 (35). Her mother, always well, died at

78 years of gradual decay; her formula, at 50 years, 115/65 inches; build

1.9 (27). The Mother is doubtless heterozygous. There are 7 children:

1. Female, who has had pneumonia and suffers from migraine, has, at 38,

the formula 100/62.5 inches; build 1.8 (26).

2. Female, a teacher, married, at 37 years, 115/65 inches; build 1.9 (27).

3. Female, married, and died at 35 years of Addison’s disease, 105/65

inches; build 1.8 (25).

4. Female, who has been operated on for tubercular neck glands, at 34

years, 115/62 inches; build 2.1 (30).

5. Female, who suffered in youth from tachycardia, at 28 years, 100/65.5

inches; build 1.6 (23).

6. Female, who has suffered from migraine and rheumatism and had an

attack of pneumonia, at 27 years, 115/64 inches; build 2.0 (28); adjusted

to 50 years, 119/64 inches; build 2.0 (29).

7. Male, well, at 20 years, 140/67 inches; build 2.2 (31); adjusted to 50

years, 158/68 inches; build 2.4 (34).

_Comment._—On the whole the children are _below_ the average build, like

the slender parent (R: Hul-2).

KIE FAMILY. (Fig. 43.)

II 1 ♂, a slender German. His wife, II 2 ♀, fleshy. Their 4 children of

whose build something is known: III 1 ♂, fleshy; III 2 ♂, slender, over

6 feet tall, married to a fleshy woman, has 6 tall, slender daughters.

III 4 ♀, died of “heart disease”; slender. III 7 ♂, died at 56 of cancer

of the lungs, weight in health 82 kg. (180 pounds); stature 178 cm. (70

inches); build 2.6 (37), fleshy. Thus 2 are fleshy and 2 slender.

_Comment._—From the variability of the offspring we infer that the fleshy

Mother was heterozygous in build (73-670).

[Illustration: FIG. 43.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

the KIE family.]

LEO FAMILY, A. (Fig. 23.)

II 7 ♂, slender with 4 slender sibs. Their parents both slender. His

wife, II 8 ♀, at 36 years, has a stature of 152 cm. (60 inches); weight

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

112/52, 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.

III 4, the only child, at 9 years, has a relative chest-girth of 57 per

cent; fleshy.

LEO FAMILY, B.

I 5 ♂, slender, and I 6 ♀, whose build is about 3.6 (51), or very fleshy,

have 6 children of whom something is known, as follows: II 8 ♀, build 3.6

(51), very fleshy; II 11 ♀, fleshy; II 15 ♀, slender; II 16 ♀, slender,

married to a slender man and has 3 slender children; II 12 ♂, of medium

stature and 95 kg. (210 pounds) weight; build, say, 3.2 (45); very

fleshy; II 13 ♀, of tall stature and 91 kg. (200 pounds) weight; build,

say, 3.2 (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 ♀, slender, have 2 sons, both slender (73:676).

LYN-2 FAMILY.

A family of prevailingly English stock, living in Illinois and Nebraska.

The Father, who was a farmer and school-teacher, died at 65 years from

cancer of stomach. Formula, 150/64 inches; build 2.6 (37). His father,

who was a farmer, died at 76 years from pneumonia; he was slender. His

mother, who had 10 children, is living and is corpulent. Thus the Father

is heterozygous.

The Mother, who has 1 child, has at 49 years the formula 120/64 inches;

build 2.1 (29). Her father, who is a carpenter, always well, is at 70

years slender. Her mother, who had 4 children, died at 36 years from

pneumonia; she was of medium build. One child, female, a kindergarten

teacher, has at 19 years the formula 110/63 inches; build 2.0 (28);

adjusted to 55+ years, 130/63 inches; build 2.3 (33).

_Comment._—The child is now like the slender parent and will probably

increase somewhat in build (R: Lyn-2).

MER-B FAMILY.

A family of English extraction from Rochester, New York. The Father, at

21 years, had the formula 200/71 inches; build 2.8 (40). His father had

the formula 250/73 inches; build 3.3 (47). His mother had the formula

130/70 inches; build 1.9 (27).

The Mother, at 21 years, had the formula 96/61 inches; build 1.8 (25).

Her father had the formula 170/68 inches; build 2.6 (37). Her mother had

the formula 150/65 inches; build 2.5 (36). Five children:

1. Male, at 21 years, had the formula 175/68 inches; build 2.7 (38).

2. Male, at 21 years, 170/72 inches; build 2.3 (33).

3. Female, 140/64 inches; build 2.4 (34).

4. Female, 130/65 inches; build 2.2 (31).

5. Female, 130/67 inches; build 2.0 (29).

_Comment._—All 5 children are intermediate between the parents; 1 is

fleshy, 1 slender (S:Mer-B).

MOR FAMILY. (Fig. 24.)

(_a_) II 1 ♂, stature 181 cm. (71 inches); weight 13 kg. (200 pounds);

build 3.5 (50); very fleshy. Married II 2, a slender woman. They had 7

sons, 2 fleshy, 5 medium, and 6 daughters, 1 fleshy and 5 medium. Thus 3

fleshy and 10 of medium build. To save space only 5 are represented in

figure 24.

(_b_) IV 16 ♂, slender, married IV 17 ♀, fleshy, who has 2 fleshy and 2

slender sibs; and both parents fleshy. They have 4 living children, all

slender.

(_c_) IV 5 ♂, fleshy with 4 fleshy, 1 medium, and 1 slender sibs and a

fleshy and medium parent; married IV 6, slender, with a slender sister.

They had 2 sons, both slender (73:690).

PAD-1 FAMILY.

A family of English extraction, living in the middle West. The Father, a

horticulturist, subject in middle life to catarrh, is living at 55 years,

having had at 50 years the formula 145/72 inches; build 2.0 (28). His

father, a farmer, who in youth suffered from measles and bronchitis, and

in middle age from liver trouble, died at 59 years from complication of

stomach and liver diseases. At 55 years his formula 145/68 inches; build

2.2 (31). His mother is living at 80 years, having the formula 160/68

inches; build 2.4 (35).

The Mother, at 49 years, had the formula 145/63 inches; build 2.6 (37).

Her father, a merchant and farmer, suffered in youth from typhoid fever

and congestion of the brain. He died at 86 years from old age, having had

at 70 years the formula 170/72 inches; build 2.3 (33). Her mother died at

83 years of old age, having the formula 95/64 inches; build 1.6 (23). The

only grown child is a male, a student, who in youth suffered from measles

and catarrh, has at 21 years the formula 155/67 inches; build 2.4 (35);

adjusted to 50 years, 171/67.5 inches; build 2.6 (37).

_Comment._—The only grown child is like his stouter parent in build (R:

Pad-1).

ROM-1 FAMILY.

A family of prevailing English stock, living in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,

and Kansas. The Father, who is a lawyer, has at 72 years the formula

170/67 inches; build 2.7 (38). Three of his brothers died at 26 years, 41

years, and 22 years respectively, from tuberculosis; all were of medium

height. Their father, who was a “farmer and blacksmith,” died at 76 years

from Bright’s disease; was slender. Their mother, who had 5 children,

died at 55 years from “tuberculosis of the liver”; was corpulent. The

Father is doubtless heterozygous in build.

The Mother has at 67 years the formula 119/65 inches; build 2.0 (28).

One of her sisters, who was tall, died from “quick consumption”; another

from diabetes; another from dropsy. Two of her brothers, tall, died from

hardening of the arteries, another from “leakage of the heart,” and

another from dropsy. Their father, who was a miller, died at 76 years—“a

complication of diseases (asthma).” He was corpulent. Their mother, who

had 10 children, died at 72 years from pneumonia; was of medium build.

The 7 children are:

1. Female, married, who in middle age suffered from rheumatism, has at 44

years the formula 155/64 inches; build 2.7 (38); adjusted to 55 years,

158/64 inches; build 2.7 (39).

2. Male, a farmer, who in youth suffered from malarial fever, has at 41

years the formula 150/68 inches; build 2.3 (32); adjusted to 55 years,

155/68 inches; build 2.4 (34).

3. Male, a farmer, has at 38 years the formula 155/68 inches; build 2.4

(34); adjusted to 55 years, 161/68 inches; build 2.5 (35).

4. Male, who died at 18 years from diphtheria, having the formula 145/72

inches; build 2.0 (28); adjusted to 55 years, 171/72 inches; build 2.3

(33).

5. Female, married, has at 31 years the formula 115/65 inches; build 1.9

(27); adjusted to 55 years, 132/65 inches; build 2.2 (31).

6. Male, a farmer, has at 28 years the formula 160/71 inches; build 2.2

(32); adjusted to 55 years, 174/71 inches; build 2.4 (35).

7. Female, a student, who in youth suffered from tonsillitis, scarlet

fever, and other “children’s” diseases, has at 22 years the formula

118/64 inches; build 2.0 (29); adjusted to 55 years, 136/64 inches; build

2.3 (33).

_Comment._—All except one on the adjusted weights equal or exceed the

mid-parent index. One of the 7 children is as fleshy as the fleshier

parent (R: Rom-1).

RID FAMILY. (Fig. 48.)

III 9 ♂, at 59 years, stature 157 cm. (62 inches); weight 73 kg. (160

pounds); build 2.9 (42); fleshy; “as fat as butter when a child.” He

has 3 fleshy sibs and his parents are dissimilar in build; hence he is

heterozygous; married to III 10 ♀, slender, of two slender parents.

Of their 2 children, IV 3 ♀, at 30 years is slender; IV 4 ♂, at 16 years,

slender (73:727).

VAN FAMILY. (Fig. 44.)

I 3 ♂, died at 51 years of heart disease, stature 170 cm. (67 inches);

weight 86 kg. (190 pounds); build 3.0 (42); fleshy. He was one of a

fraternity of 8 of whom something is known of the following: I 1 ♂,

slender; I 2 ♂, stature 183 (72 inches); weight 90 kg. (200 pounds);

build 2.7 (38.5); fleshy; slender as a child. I 3, married I 4, who died

at 32, was tall, slender, angular. A brother is of medium build.

They have 5 children: II 1 ♂, died at 53 years of indigestion; stature

189 cm. (74 inches); weight 90 kg. (200 pounds); build 2.6 (37); fleshy.

II 2 ♀, always slender. II 3 ♀, slender. II 4 ♂, at 54, stature 175 cm.

(69 inches); weight 88 kg. (194 pounds); build 2.9 (41); fleshy. Relative

chest-girth 108 ÷ 175, or 62 per cent. He first began to increase in

build at 22 years and at 30 years had his present build; loses weight

after vigorous exercise. He married a woman (II 5) who, like himself, was

slender in youth, but began to grow fleshy at 39, and now has a build

of 2.9 (41). She has 2 slender, 2 fleshy, and 2 very fleshy sibs, and

her parents were both very fleshy. The foregoing couple (II 4, 5) have

2 children who grew up. III 1 ♀ at 28 years, keeps slender by constant

dieting. III 2 ♂ (one of twins) at 25 years, very slender, nervous, and

irritable. The children have not yet reached the age when their mother

became fleshy.

Finally, II 7 ♀, at 50 years, is 170 cm. (67 inches) tall and weighs 88

kg. (195 pounds); build 3.1 (43); fleshy. She was slender up to 27 years

of age. She is married to a somewhat fleshy man and their daughter at 27

is of medium build, but beginning to grow fleshy.

_Comment._—The mating of a man of build 3.0, of a fraternity that is

variable in build, and a woman of slender build yields grown children

with following builds: 2.6, “slender,” “slender,” 2.9 (slender in youth),

and 3.1 (slender in youth). Three of the five become fleshy, but probably

only late in life—the heterozygous reaction (73:745).

[Illustration: FIG. 44.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

VAN family.]

WAT FAMILY.

A family of English extraction living in Wyoming. The Father, who has

tuberculosis, has the formula 125/68 inches; build 1.9 (27). His father

was slender and of average height. His mother was fleshy and of average

height.

The Mother had at 50 the formula 165/64 inches; build 2.8 (40), but

averaged usually from 120 to 128 pounds. She had stomach trouble. Her

father, an invalid and sufferer from tuberculosis, rheumatism, neuralgia,

heart trouble, and dropsy, had the formula 120/68 inches; build 1.8

(26). His weight varied from 102 to 120 pounds; very slender. Her mother,

who had a goiter of which she was cured, and quinsy, had the formula

140/56 inches; build 3.1 (45). The mother’s father’s father had the

formula 180/73.5 inches; build 2.3 (33). His weight varied from 180 to

200 pounds. He was muscular, not fat. The Mother’s father’s mother was

always thin and had the formula 115/65 inches; build 1.9 (27). She had

liver trouble and cancer of the face. The Mother’s mother’s father had

cancer of the face and underwent an operation for it. His formula was

125/65 inches; build 2.1 (30). The Mother’s mother’s mother had at 70

years the formula 160/67 inches; build 2.5 (36). She grew heavier in

middle age. The children are:

1. Male, liable to tuberculosis, has at 24 years the formula 134/67.5

inches; build 2.1 (30).

2. Male, has weak lungs; has at 22 years the formula 170/67.5 inches;

build 2.6 (37).

3. Male, has at 18 years the formula 126/68 inches; build 1.9 (27).

_Comment._—The children show the usual variability that arises from this

type of mating (D:Wat.).

Mating 2. FLESHY × HETEROZYGOUS FLESHY PARENTS.

This includes matings between a heterozygous parent of fleshy build and a

very fleshy (or fleshy) parent of fleshy stock; a back-cross to the more

nearly dominant type.

The matings of this type are as shown in table 33.

TABLE 33.—_Matings between a probably homozygous fleshy and a

heterozygous fleshy parent, together with the progeny of this back-cross._

A = 40.48 ± 0.57.

S. D. 6.36 ± 0.41.

These 9 matings yielded 56 children, with the following percentage

distribution: 4 S, 25 M, 37 F, 34 VF. The 6-zygotic-factor mating 5 × 3

(both possibilities) gives a percentage distribution of 3 S, 25 M, 43 F,

28 VF, which approximates that found.

Attention is called to the distribution of offspring in the Pal, Rid,

Smi, and Wen families. In these families the children are of two extreme

types; intermediates are absent. The result may be due merely to small

numbers, but it suggests the presence of two sorts of gametes in the

heterozygous parent and hence a tendency to segregation in the offspring.

HUD FAMILY. (Fig. 45.)

The Father’s (II 7) build is 3.2 (45); very fleshy; his father’s (I 1)

was 2.0 (28) and his mother’s 3.2 (46). Thus the Father is heterozygous.

The Mother’s (II 8) build is 2.8 (40). Her father’s build was 2.7 (38),

fleshy; and her mother’s 2.5 (35); medium fleshy. The Mother’s 7 sibs

have builds ranging between 2.5 (35) and 3.2 (46); principally fleshy to

very fleshy. So this may be regarded as a back-cross of a heterozygous

parent with a fleshy one of fleshy stock. Of the 4 children, 1 is

medium-fleshy (III 11) with a build of 2.5 (36), 1 is fleshy (III 10)

2.7 (38), and two very fleshy; build 3.2 (45); thus the build of the

offspring is varied, but prevailing very fleshy.

[Illustration: FIG. 45.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

the HUD family.]

disease, has at 53 years the formula 170/67.5 inches; build 2.6 (37).

8. Female, who at 17 years had fever, lost her mind, has not been well

since—“gradual mental deterioration.” At 51 years she has the formula

170/62 inches; build 3.1 (44).

9. Female, who in youth suffered from “thrush,” and in middle life from

malarial fever and gradual mental deterioration, has at 51 years the

formula 116/57.5 inches; build 2.4 (35).

10. Female, who at 48 years has the formula 165/63 inches; build 2.9 (42).

_Comment._—This is an extraordinarily valuable pedigree furnished by a

member of the family who has taken great pains with the record. Both

parents are of middle-fleshy build (39). The Father’s fraternity shows

sibs: 5 medium, 4 fleshy, and 1 very fleshy. This is associated with

semi-dwarfishness, one of the sisters being only 57 inches in stature and

one of the brothers only 63 inches. _One of their parents is slender;

one obese._ The Mother’s fraternity comprises 4 persons of medium

build and 3 stout. Their _parents are both fleshy_. The “children” are

remarkably uniform. Since they all, except one, reached the parental age,

no “adjustment” is necessary; they can be compared directly. One is of

medium build, 8 are stout like their parents (including the adjusted age

of the girl who died at 20), and 1 is just over the line of being very

stout (44), like her paternal aunt and a little less than her Father’s

mother. Here the obesity has skipped a generation in the direct line,

possibly because the Father was phenotypically reduced in build, perhaps

because of his advanced age (88). This circumstance offers, however,

no theoretical difficulty. The uniformity of the progeny favors the

hypothesis that in this family there are only two independent factors for

fleshy build (R: Jon-11_c_).

[Illustration: FIG. 46.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

the JON-11C family.]

PAL FAMILY. (Fig. 25.)

A family living in a small town in good circumstances. III 9 ♂, a farmer,

who at 67 years is 173 cm. (68 inches) tall, weighs around 90 kg. or 200

pounds; build 3.0 (43); fleshy; net relative chest-girth 120/173, or 71

per cent. This near-obese man was slender as a boy and began to grow

fleshy at 30 years of age. There are 5 others in his fraternity: (1)

III 7 ♂, a physician, at 71 years is 178 cm. (70 inches) tall, weighs

over 90 kg. (200 pounds); build 2.9 (41); fleshy; relative chest-girth

119/178, or 67 per cent. He is doubtless heterozygous for build, since,

by a slender wife, he has 2 fleshy and 2 slender children. (2) III 8 ♀,

married, at 69 years has stature 157 cm. (62 inches); weight 75 kg. (155

pounds); build 2.8 (40); fleshy; relative chest-girth 107/157, or 68 per

cent. By a man of medium build she has 1 fleshy, 1 medium, and 3 slender

children.[10] (3) III 11 ♂, at 65 years has a stature of 175 cm. (69

inches); weight 61 kg. (135 pounds); build 2.0 (28); slender. (4) III 5

♂, at 62 years, stature 178 cm. (70 inches); weight 95 kg. (210 pounds);

build 3.0 (43); fleshy. His relative chest-girth 117/178, or 66 per cent.

As a boy he was of medium build; at about 30 years, like III 7, he began

to grow fleshy, and is now dieting for diabetes (?). By a fleshy wife,

whose sibs vary in build, he has 2 fleshy children and 1 of medium build.

(5) III 12, at 59 years has a stature of 168 cm. (66 inches) and weight

of 102 kg. (224 pounds); build 3.6 (52); very fleshy. By a husband of

medium build she has 1 slender and 1 medium child.[10]

[10] Not shown in figure 25.

The father (II 5) of this fraternity, who died at 87 years of cancer of

the face, was fleshy. He had 5 brothers, all of whom lived to be over 80

years of age and who all, save 1, weighed over 90 kg. (200 pounds). The

mother (II 6) of the man’s fraternity died at 64 of pneumonia; she was of

medium build, and her 4 sibs were of medium build. Thus all her children

were probably somewhat heterozygous, including III 9, the father of 3.

III 10, the wife of III 9, is 178 cm. tall and weighs over 90 kg.; build

2.8 (40+); fleshy.

Of the 3 children: (1) IV 7 ♂ at 44 is of medium build. By a slender wife

he had a daughter who at 22 years has a build 2.4 (34); medium build. (2)

IV 10 ♀, at 42 years, has a stature of 163 cm. (64 inches) and weight of

over 115 kg. (250+ pounds); build 4.3 (61+); obese. She married a slender

man, and 1 of their 9 children, at 19 years, weighs over 90 kg. (200

pounds). (3) IV 11 ♂ is a medium weight; he married a slender woman and

has 4 children who are of medium build.

_Comment._—A fleshy Father, who is heterozygous for build, and his fleshy

wife (of unknown gametic composition) have 1 obese child and 2 children

of medium build (73:704).

REC FAMILY, A. (Fig. 47.)

II 5 ♂ died at 84 years of “heart disease.” His stature was 188 cm. (74

inches) and weight 100 kg. (220 pounds); build 2.8 (40); fleshy. He had

a fleshy brother and sister. Their father was a slender man, but nothing

is known about their mother. II 5 married II 6, who died at 58 years of

bronchial pneumonia. Her formula, 360/60 inches; build of 7.0 (100); very

obese. She has 1 very fleshy and 1 fleshy sister and a slender brother.

This fleshy pair had 6 offspring, as follows: (1) III 2 ♀ (plate 9,

fig. 2), build 4.0 (57), relative chest-girth, 90 per cent. She is the

obese mother (by a fleshy, 2.8 (40), consort) of a slightly less obese

daughter, of build 3.7 (53) (plate 9, fig. 3). (2) III 3 ♂, 170 cm. (67

inches) tall, and weighing 91 kg. (200 pounds); build 3.1 (45); very

fleshy. He is now at a State institution and weighs some 20 or 30 pounds

less. (3) III 4 ♂, build about 2.4 (34); medium. (4) III 5 ♂, very

fleshy. (5) III 6 ♂, about 183 cm. (72 inches) tall, weighs over 90 kg.

(200 pounds); has very large shoulders and abdomen; build, say, 2.8 (40).

(6) III 8 ♀, at 36 years has a stature of 168 cm. (66 inches) and weight

of 71 kg. (157 pounds); build 2.7 (38); fleshy. Her relative chest-girth

is 52 per cent. She married a man of build 3.4 (48) and has 3 sons—2

slender and 1 fleshy.

_Comment._—The parents II 5 and II 6 were probably heterozygous, so that

they produced 1 in 6 of medium build. Also, their children are mostly

heterozygous. Of 8 grandchildren, 2 are slender, 2 are stout (73:714).

[Illustration: FIG. 47.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

REC family.]

REC FAMILY, B. (Fig. 47.)

III 1 ♂, fleshy, with a fleshy father and slender mother, married to

III 2 ♀ (plate 9, fig. 2), who at 53 years has a stature of 150 cm.

(59 inches) and weight of much over 90 kg. (200 pounds); build 4.0

(57); obese. Her relative chest-girth is 135/150, or 90 per cent;

extraordinarily obese. At 16, when married, she weighed 110 pounds; build

2.2 (32); medium. 4 of her 4 sibs and both parents are exceedingly obese

(her mother weighs 163 kg. [360 pounds] and has a build of 7.0 [100]).

The foregoing pair had 5 children, 4 of whom died young. The other, IV

2 ♀, at 36 years has a stature of 168 cm. (66 inches) and weight of 104

kg. (229 pounds); build 3.7 (53); very fleshy. Her relative chest-girth

is 130/168, or 77 per cent. She had at her marriage, when 23 years old

(to a slender man), a build of 2.3 (33), medium grade. After marriage

she increased rapidly in weight, menstruation became scant, she lost the

sex-instinct, and is barren (plate 7, fig. 3).

_Comment._—A tendency to extreme obesity runs in four generations. This

is apparently of the adiposo-genitalis type, with sterility in the latest

generation. Obvious dominant factors are at work here (73:714).

RID FAMILY. (Fig. 48.)

II 2 ♂ died at 54 years; short and weighed 110 kg. (240 pounds); build,

say, 3.9 (56); very fleshy. A brother who died at 52 of apoplexy was

fleshy, married a fleshy woman, and had a fleshy son. The mother of this

fraternity was fleshy; about her consort’s build nothing is known, but he

had a fleshy sister (I 1).

II 3 ♀, wife of II 2, died of senility at 89; she weighed over 90 kg.

(200 pounds). She had 7 sibs: (1) II 4 ♀ died of epilepsy, was of medium

weight, married, and had 5 children, 4 of medium weight and 1 fleshy. (2)

II 5 ♀ of unknown build. II 6 ♀ of medium weight, her children slender.

II 7 ♂ weighed over 90 kg. (200 pounds); build, say, 2.9 (41), or fleshy.

II 8 ♂ weighed over 90 kg.; fleshy. II 9 ♂ also fleshy, like his two

brothers. II 10 unknown. Thus of this fraternity of 6 known persons, 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

♀, 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 ♀, 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 ♀, at 51 years,

is very fleshy; was a slender child. (6) III 6 ♀ is fleshy. (7) III 8 ♀,

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 fleshy but reduced by illness (73:727).

[Illustration: FIG. 48.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

the RID family.]

SMI FAMILY. (Fig. 26.)

I 1 ♂ died at 72 years of acute indigestion; said to have been very

fleshy, like his father. His wife, I 2 ♀, 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 pneumonia 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 ♀, 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 ♀, fleshy. (5) II 6 ♀, fleshy.

(6) II 7 ♀ 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 (I 1), 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. Her formula was 135/63 inches; build 2.4 (34). Two of her sibs

are slender and one of medium build. Her father (I 3), who suffered

from arthritis deformans, was confined to his chair from rheumatism the

last 15 years, and died at 72 years, having the formula 160/70 inches,

build 2.3 (33). Her mother, who died at 50 years, had the formula 140/65

inches; build 2.3 (33). She had a sister (I 5) who weighed about 250

pounds, “an enormous woman.” This side of the house is of prevailingly

medium build but with a tendency to obesity in one line. The children are

10 in number:

1. Male (III 3), a clerk, has at 66 years the formula 150/69 inches;

build 2.2 (32).

2. Male (III 4), a physician, who has always had a rheumatic tendency

and is liable to sciatic neuritis, at 25 years had the formula 180/68.75

inches; build 2.7 (38). He is the Father of Thr-2 family, page 79.

3. Male (III 6), a preacher, has at 69 years the formula 170/68 inches;

build 2.6 (37). He has a daughter with a build of about 3.2 (45).

4. Male (III 7), a physician, who in middle life suffered from

inflammatory rheumatism, has at 59 years the formula 170/68 inches; build

2.6 (37).

5. Female (III 8), who died at 34 years from appendicitis, has the

formula 225/67 inches; build 3.5 (50). She was “a big overgrown woman in

her teens.”

6. Female (III 9), married, who has a rheumatic tendency, has at 55 years

the formula 190/64 inches; build 3.3 (46).

7. Female (III 11), married, who has 9 children, suffered in middle age

from rheumatism. At 53 years her formula was 225/67 inches; build 3.3

(46).

8. Male, a merchant, well, has at 51 years the formula 155/67 inches;

build 2.4 (35).

9. Male, a merchant, well, has at 49 years the formula 165/68.5 inches;

build 2.5 (35).

10. Male (III 14), a doctor and dentist, has at 47 years formula 180/68

inches; build 2.7 (39). One of his daughters has a build of about 3.2

(45).

Child No. 2, a physician, writes: “Many of my relatives, both on Father’s

and Mother’s side, were afflicted with so-called muscular rheumatism

(cousins, uncles, and aunts), pains in the limbs and muscles (not in

the joints); especially those of robust and fleshy build, who possessed

extraordinary good appetites and digestion, who liked good things to eat

and much of it; the women being good cooks and the men generally marrying

good cooks, they always had plenty to eat (rich food) and to spare. None

of them are users of alcohol, simply being extra-hearty eaters” (R:

Thr-1).

WEN FAMILY. (Fig. 49.)

IV 10 is the Father; his formula is 260/74 inches; build 3.2 (46);

very fleshy. His father (III 10) had the formula 245/73 inches; build

3.2 (46); very fleshy. This father had a brother of just his build

(who eventually died of tuberculosis) and a brother of formula 250/74,

build 3.0 (43); fleshy. The Father’s father’s father (II 5) had the

formula 200/70, build 2.9 (41); fleshy; one of his brothers was fleshy

(38), and one very fleshy, build 3.2 (45). The latter had a very fleshy

son. The Father’s father’s father’s father had a build of 2.9 (41) and

a brother of the same build. These brothers of Gen. I were products

of a first-cousin marriage. The Father’s father’s mother was a woman

whose formula was 200/68.5 inches; build 3.0 (43); fleshy. Hence the

Father’s father and his brother, both of build 3.2 (46), got the fleshy

tendency from both sides of the house. The Father’s mother was a second

cousin of the Father’s father and her line also contained many fleshy

representatives, but she herself was of medium build. Thus the Father

belongs to a fleshy strain, but he probably carries some non-fleshy

gametes.

IV 11 is the Mother; her formula is 160/65.5 inches; build 2.6 (37);

fleshy; she has 2 sibs, both fleshy; her parents are of medium build;

they have some slender grandchildren.

There are 8 children, V 3 to 12, whose sex and indices of build are as

follows: ♂ 3.6 (51), ♀ 3.1 (44), 2 ♂ ♂ 2.5 (35), 3 ♀ ♀ 2.3 (32), ♀ 2.2

(31). Thus 2 are very fleshy and 6 are of medium build. The interval

between the two groups is a wide one, indicating a clear genetic

difference between them. The very fleshy brother, who weighs 265 pounds,

was able to reduce about 60 pounds to be accepted for army service, but

since being discharged from the army he has rebounded to his former

weight. (A:032-25.)

[Illustration: FIG. 49.—Pedigree chart showing distribution of build in

the WEN family. (Gen I 1 should be square ruled, indicating fleshiness).]

SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION.

In a simple monohybrid with complete dominance the back-cross upon the

recessive gives 50 per cent of the heterozygous dominant and 50 per cent

of the recessive allelomorph. In a monohybrid with imperfect dominance

the back-cross upon the recessive gives 50 per cent of the intermediate

and 50 per cent of the recessive. Where 2 or 3 multiple factors are

present and the heterozygote is nearly intermediate but shows a slight

tendency toward imperfect dominance, we may expect an approximation to

a symmetrical distribution of grades about the intermediate condition,

with a skewness toward the recessive condition. That is what is got

in both parts of table 32. This result supports the conclusion that

there is segregation in the gametes of the heterozygous parent, so

that the progeny tend prevailingly to fall again into the slender and

medium-fleshy grandparental types. The results of table 33 similarly

support the conclusion of segregation in the gametes of the heterozygous

fleshy parent.

C. GENERAL DISCUSSION.

HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT IN BUILD.

That a tendency to slenderness or fleshiness of build “runs in families”

and characterizes different races is a matter of common observation. But

this fact is far from satisfying the clinician that heredity plays any

part in this result. Thus, von Noorden, who occupies a leading position

among Teutonic investigators of metabolism in general and obesity in

particular, denies the importance of an hereditary anomaly of metabolism

in different families and races. Rejecting “anomaly of metabolism” or

“peculiarity of protoplasmic metabolism,” he stresses “inheritance” of

habits of life that favor obesity, the quantity and quality of food,

and the ideals of bodily activity. For example, the Eskimo are fat

because they eat blubber and huddle in narrow spaces, undergoing little

movement throughout the long, dark winters. It is true that von Noorden

speaks somewhat guardedly; he recognizes exceptions; suggests a possible

hereditary hypofunction of the thyroid. But clearly constitutional

peculiarities are, for him, exceptional as causes of overweight, and here

is where he fails to recognize sufficiently the fact that usually only

particular individuals of a fraternity are fleshy; the others may be

slender.

But besides anomalies of protoplasm and family traditions of feeding,

there are obviously other possibilities. It is well known that different

varieties of cattle differ greatly in their capacity for fattening.

Armsby and Fries (1911) have inquired into the influence of type upon

the fattening of cattle. They used a pure-bred Aberdeen-Angus steer and

a “scrub,” part Jersey, steer for comparison. As is well known, the

former belongs to the easily fattening beef type; the Jersey to the

difficultly fattening milk type. During over 2½ years, beginning at under

1 year of age, these steers were under nearly continuous observations.

They were fed on ordinary growing rations, the same for each steer. The

digestibility of the total ration was determined at intervals; four tests

were made of each animal in the respiration calorimeter to determine the

percentage availability of the energy of the feeds consumed by each. The

results were as follows: Analysis of feces and urine failed to show any

difference in percentage digestibility of the food by the two animals,

and calorimeter tests failed to show any difference in the proportion

of the food-energy which was being metabolized. But the two animals did

not metabolize in the same way. Thus, in the scrub, a larger proportion

of the gain made was of protein than in the case of the beef steer; and,

conversely, the gain of the beef steer was more largely fat than in the

case of the scrub. Reduced to common weight, the energy requirement for

maintenance of the scrub steer was nearly 19 per cent greater than for

the beef steer. Since the beef steer would eat more than the scrub and

tended to store fat rather than protein, the greater tendency of the beef

steer to fatten received a biochemical explanation. The results seem to

show a difference between the two varieties in the working over of the

assimilated materials.

Indeed, it is easily appreciated that steers of the beef and dairy types

of cattle should metabolize differently when we consider the marked

difference in the milk production of the cows of these two types. The

cow of the highest dairy type is capable of manufacturing 20 kilograms

of milk containing 1.2 kilograms of butter fat in one day, or 6 per cent

(Bailey, Encl. Am. Agric., III, 365). The cow of the meat type, of larger

size, produces up to 30 kilograms of milk, and this contains, perhaps,

1.3 kilograms of butter fat per day, or only 4.3 per cent (Sinclair,

1904, p. 740-42). There is here, obviously, a difference in the metabolic

processes in the cows and this is reflected in the steers also.[11] There

is an internal biochemical difference as well as a difference in the

feeding instinct. The latter is not merely a matter of family tradition,

of the family economics or mores; it is a physiological phenomenon as

much as internal metabolism.

[11] I am indebted to Mrs. C. D. Walcott for calling my attention to this

point.

Indeed, even von Noorden (1907, III, p. 700) seems to be forced to this

conclusion by cases of failure to reduce weight at a diet far below that

which appears to be essential to maintenance. Thus a man of 39 years, who

exercised freely in the open air, had a weight of 102 kg. For 3 months

his diet never exceeded 1,720 calories (estimated at 1,000 calories short

of normal requirements) and at the end of this period he weighed 101 kg.

That a relation between ingested food and activity is not the entire

explanation of obesity is recognized by medical men of experience.

Heckel (1920, p. 371), referring to recurrent obesity, remarks on its

frequency and says: To constitute an obesity there must be organic

and hereditary tendencies: “Ne devient pas obèse qui veut.” “Aussi la

guérison accidentelle ou thérapeutique d’une obésité n’indique-t-elle pas

la disparition définitive des tendances personelles ou congénitale.”

Gulick (1922) has lately undertaken experiments to throw light on the

question why some persons fatten easily and some with difficulty. He

had noted that he himself belongs to a non-fattening strain and that

his inclination toward a very copious diet of predominantly starchy

nature did not lead him to put on weight, even though his round of

activity was moderate. So he undertook biochemical, nutritional studies

on himself. His observation covered nearly 21 months. During part of

this time his caloric intake was low, 1,875 to 2,780; during another

part high, 3,400 to 4,100. He found that he fattened somewhat during

the period of heaviest feeding. There was, however, always an excess of

intake over predictable need, and this excess increased absolutely and

probably even relatively as the intake increased. The fecal nitrogen was

2½ to 3½ times greater during over-feeding than under-feeding. The basal

metabolism during maximum feeding was normal. Gulick concludes that a

person belonging to the difficultly fattening type shows a wasteful rate

of oxidation, whether under or over fed, but especially at the latter

time. “It seems clear,” concludes Gulick, “that throughout the entire

experimental series there was some factor at work which caused fuel food

to be burned more freely than in the average individual. This factor was

not an over-active thyroid, as attested by the entirely normal basal

metabolism.” Gulick concludes that it was “some factor in the chemistry

of nutrition” which caused extravagance. This he thinks may very possibly

be comparable to the “secondary effect” of protein enrichment, which,

according to Rubner, can raise the specific dynamic action of the food

without raising the basal rate. It is also possible, he says, that the

spare type may be accounted for by any factor that produces a high “cost

of digestion,” just as the obese may be supposed to suffer from an

abnormally low “cost of digestion” (von Noorden).

Whatever the fundamental cause may be, the fact remains that in certain

families there is a widespread inclination to the production of slender

individuals, while in other fraternities certain proportions (though

usually not all) of any fraternity are fleshy or even obese. Perhaps,

as in the case of the Jersey as contrasted with the beef steer, the

two kinds of individuals do not metabolize their food in the same way;

some are spare and muscular, others lay on fat. In any case we can not

disregard the constitutional factors in build.

Looking at the matter broadly, we can see that no other theory than that

constitutional differences as well as nutritional differences determine

build is sufficient to meet all the facts. In other species of animals we

have precisely the same kind of differences between hereditary strains of

slender and stout build that we have among humans. Thus, among dogs, the

slender greyhound or Dachshund and the robust “Chow”; among horses the

Thoroughbred and the stocky Percheron; among swine the “razor-back” and

the Berkshire; among poultry the slender Leghorn and the stocky Cochin.

Slender and stocky as racial traits appear quite as white and black do

and they doubtless have similarly a genetic basis.

A careful study of the families described in this paper must convince

anyone, it seems to me, of the importance of the genetic factors. The

Fun. family is of a wholly different type from the Thr-1 family. Even

if the latter eat more, it is because of a constitutional urge like the

constitutional urge that leads the Aberdeen-Angus steer to eat more

than the Jersey steer. Very probably the Fun. family metabolizes in a

different way from the Thr-1 family, building more protein and less fat.

In other cases it is not the whole fraternity that is fleshy or slender.

This is well illustrated by the Wen. family, where 2 of 8 of the main

fraternity are very fleshy and all the others of medium build. We have

here to do not merely with a family habit of eating, but a differential

constitution that provides one-quarter of the children with a large

appetite that leads them to eat heavily and manufacture fat and provides

three-quarters of them with a small appetite that leads them to eat

lightly and to manufacture protein instead of fat. Constitutional

differences in the appetite and method of metabolism are the essential

factors; and these are the things that are inherited. Only on such

an hypothesis can we account for the clear evidence presented of

constitutional factors in build—not always one only, but sometimes three

or more acting together to produce the end result of obesity.

A scientific man, interested in nutrition, who has a build of 3.6 (51)

himself and one of whose sisters has a build of 3.1 (44), whereas his 4

other sibs have builds of 2.5 to 2.1 (35 to 30), writes that his brother

(of medium build, but about 75 inches tall) consumes daily about 2,700

calories; he himself and his fleshy sister about 2,500, and the others

of his fraternity, who are of medium build, 2,000 to 1,800. He is a

professional man, who does a good deal of office or laboratory work. He

drinks about 3 to 4 quarts of water per day. His son, who is nearly 11

years of age, weighs just over 120 pounds, is 63 inches tall, and fairly

fleshy. Though he is active, “never still a minute,” yet he has to be

urged to eat, willingly misses a meal, and uniformly declines a second

helping; “he eats much less than his 6-year-old cousins, who are actually

under size for their age; he has never been a heavy eater from the time

he was weaned.” This boy, the son of a very fleshy man, seems to afford

an example of the easily fattening type in whom the slight excess of

calories produces a striking result in build.

ENDOCRINE GLANDS AS LINKS BETWEEN CHROMOSOMES AND SOMATIC QUALITIES.

When it is concluded that there are constitutional, genetic factors for

build, the validity of this conclusion is not weakened by the known rôle

of endocrine glands on metabolism and build. Thus the experiments of

recent years have emphasized the importance of the rôle that the thyroid

gland plays in growth and development. As Uhlenhuth (1922, p. 182) says:

“The ontogenetic development of the individual is controlled by the

thyroid hormone.” Since in cretins the thyroid functions imperfectly or

not at all, the differences between the development of a normal child and

that of a cretin are supposed to indicate the scope of the control by the

thyroid hormone. In the cretin, growth is slowed up almost to cessation.

In the long bones the centers of ossification develop slowly. “The

epiphyses may be absent many years after they are due to appear and their

union with the shafts of the long bones indefinitely delayed. Periosteal

as well as endochondral bone formation may be greatly reduced and

delayed. The cranial bones are thin, poorly ossified, and osteoporotic:

mottling is sometimes evident ontogenologically.”... Incomplete closure

of the fontanelles is very common (Janney, 1922, pp. 391, 392). The

genito-urinary system is undeveloped; the external genitalia remain

infantile. The brain shows defective convolutions and all parts of the

central nervous system show deficient development. Owing to the fact

that the long bones of the leg develop imperfectly, while the chest may

continue to enlarge, the build of the cretin is usually large for his

age. Thus, in general, the specific metabolic changes are retarded. When

the thyroid functions imperfectly after maturity the victim puts on fat.

The fat is usually distributed nearly uniformly under all parts of the

skin. One of Janney’s cases weighed 212 pounds at 12 years. Some degree

of hypothyroidism is doubtless responsible for many of the “very fleshy”

persons referred to in the preceding pages. The frequent recurrence of

obesity in a family is in accordance with the tendency for hypothyroidism

to recur in different members of a family; a tendency shown remarkably in

Barrett’s (1919) family.

The hypophysis, especially its anterior lobe, is believed to exercise an

important control over differential metabolism and the resulting form.

The results of hyperfunctioning of the gland are very different from

those of hyperfunctioning of the thyroid. An extraordinary enlargement

of certain parts of the skeleton, especially of the base of the skull,

the hands, the feet, and the ribs, occurs. There is, indeed, in growing

persons a tendency to the production of giants. In the underfunctioning

of the hypophysis before puberty an extraordinary obesity is apt to

appear, known as dystrophic adiposo-genitalis; because, the more

the fat increases in amount the more the external genitalia appear

under-developed—infantile. The obesity frequently affects the region

of the pelvis only or chiefly, though the thighs also may be involved.

Disfunctioning of the pituitary in later years is believed, likewise,

to induce obesity. Of this disfunctioning there are, doubtless, all

degrees corresponding to the variety of grades of obesity. Thus a second

factor of obesity must be recognized; and this also “runs in families”—is

hereditary.

The other endocrine factors in obesity are less precisely known. It is

believed that the interstitial cells of the gonads secrete hormones that

regulate, especially inhibit, the production of fat. This is inferred by

the frequent tendency of women after the menopause to grow fat and of

eunuchs (of one type, at any rate) to become fleshy. Also, the secretions

of the islands of Langerhans of the pancreas are known to influence

carbohydrate metabolism, so that when they do not function properly sugar

is eliminated unchanged in the urine, and “diabetes,” usually accompanied

by fleshiness in its early stages, ensues. Of course, it can not be

stated that pancreatic insufficiency is responsible for the prediabetic

obesity; but the relation of the two phenomena is undeniably close.

Thus there come clearly to view two links in the chain of causes

connecting chromosomal factors (such as are present in “Mendelian”

heredity), on the one hand, and build, on the other. First, two or

more of the endocrine glands play a great rôle in metabolism and when

disturbed usually result in an abnormal build; and, secondly, just the

condition of endocrine disfunctioning is an hereditary one and seems to

depend on the condition of the enzymes or catalyzers that must be in the

chromosomes.

That other constitutional conditions than those of the larger endocrine

glands may play an important rôle in metabolism can not be denied;

probably the quality of the protoplasm of every active cell influences

the bodily metabolism; but the endocrine glands proper seem, as it were,

to be told off for this specific purpose, and thus peculiarities in their

functioning lead to striking results.

EVIDENCE OF SEGREGATION IN THE HEREDITY OF BUILD.

The best single criterion of Mendelism in any hereditary distribution is

segregation. If there is sufficient evidence of segregation in our study

of build, then we are justified in concluding that build is inherited

in “Mendelian fashion.” There have been several occasions to refer to

evidence of segregation in this work; some of this evidence may be

brought together here and other added.

1. The difference in variability of the progeny of different matings. The

offspring of slender parents are least variable, of fleshy parents most.

This is evidence that the fleshy parents carry gametes for slenderness

and thus that condition reappears in the offspring; but slender parents

rarely carry gametes for fleshiness (p. 56).

2. As a corollary of the above, regression takes place in the progeny

of fleshy parents to a markedly greater degree than in the progeny of

slender parents (p. 39).

3. The progeny of heterozygous parents are significantly more variable

than the progeny of parents belonging respectively to slender and to

fleshy stock. This is evidence that the heterozygous parents carry a

greater variety of gametes than those of “purer stock.”

4. In different matings of the same type the variability of the progeny

differs; apparently, because some parents belong to a special biotype and

others simulate the biotype merely through heterozygosity. Thus, if the M

× M mating be considered (table X), one finds some families characterized

by slight variability of the offspring. The indices of build (English) in

such families are given in table 34.

TABLE 34.—_Indices of build of the progeny of M × M matings, in which the

parents belong to the M biotype._

The slight fluctuation in build of progeny of table 34 is obvious. The

modal index of the progeny is close to 33. On the other hand, there are

matings of this type which show a much greater variability. These are

listed in table 35.

These series of progeny fluctuate in build around 36. It seems probable

that the variable progeny are the offspring of heterozygous parents, but

this can rarely be proved, since the build of the grandparents is not

often available in the present series.

That there are really at least two kinds of matings of the M × M type is

shown more conclusively by figure 50, in which two modes, at 33 and 36,

respectively, are clearly seen. The conclusion seems to be justified that

the mode at 33 is that of progeny derived from the M biotype and the mode

at 36 is that of the progeny of heterozygous M parents. The existence of

these two modes in figure 50 is thus evidence of segregation.

[Illustration: FIG. 50.—Polygon of distribution of offspring of M × M

matings (from Appendix table X) for males, females, and sexes combined.

Abscissæ: index of build, English system. Ordinates: absolute frequencies

for males and females and their half sum for the sexes combined.]

Additional evidence is found in other matings, likewise. Thus the M ×

F mating shows two modes, at 33 and at 36 (fig. 51). There is also one

other, possibly significant, mode, namely, at 38, in the fleshy group.

Since F parents are sometimes homozygous, mating with M would tend to

produce medium-fleshy progeny (i. e., 36). The F parents are, however,

frequently heterozygous, containing both slender, medium, fleshy, and

even very fleshy gametes; and, accordingly, we should expect somatic

segregations at about the points 30, 33, 36, and 38 as centers, just

where we find them.

Again, the S × M mating yields (fig. 52) modes at 32 and 35 respectively,

a shade lower than those of the M × M or M × F matings; but the male

offspring (taken alone) gives modes at 33 and 35. Where the mode is at

33 it is probable that an S and an M gamete have met; and this condition

is relatively common just because M gametes are common. The mode at 35

may arise from an F gamete carried in a heterozygous M uniting with an S

gamete. The S gamete carried in heterozygous M may be responsible for a

probable mode which is hidden in the form of a hump at 28 in figure 52.

[Illustration: FIG. 51.—Polygon of distribution of offspring of M × F

matings (from Appendix table XI), sexes separate and combined. See also

legend of fig. 50.]

Attention is called to the probable influence of these modes on the two

modes shown in figure 7, at 33 and 35 respectively. These two modes are

strong evidence for a segregation in the factors for build. Thus the

very irregularity of the polygon of figure 7 is evidence of the presence

of segregating factors for build. Moreover, these two modes appear at

every age from birth to maturity, as is clearly shown in figure 53.

This bimodality is easily accounted for on genetical grounds, but is

inexplicable upon the bare nutritional hypothesis of build.

ON THE NUMBER OF FACTORS INVOLVED IN FLESHY BUILD.

It is by no means an easy matter to determine the number of independent

factors which are active in the case of a trait that is due to multiple

factors. This matter is still less easy if there is only very imperfect

dominance approaching intermediacy of the trait in the progeny of the

F₁ mating. Yet that is the situation that has to be met in the study of

heredity of build.

An attempt has been made in this paper to test the relative probability

that there are only two, on the one hand, or three or more independent

factors, on the other, involved. We have seen, in each of the various

matings, that the result is, on the whole, more closely in accord with

the 3-factor hypothesis than that of 2 factors. But this is not to insist

that never more than 3 independent factors are involved in build, or

never less than 3.

An attempt was made to apply Dr. Sewall Wright’s formula (Castle, 1922,

p. 22). Using the data of tables 12, 27, and 31, the value for _n_ (the

number of factors) was calculated by the formula

_N_ = _D_² / 8(σ₂²-σ₁²)

where _D_ is the difference between the means of parental pure races, σ₁

is the standard deviation of F₁ and σ₂ is standard deviation of F₂.

[Illustration: FIG. 52.—Polygon of distribution of frequencies of build

of offspring of S × M matings (from Appendix table VII), sexes separate

and combined. See also legend to fig. 50.]

Substitution for the letters of their values given _n_ = (39.20-28.50)²

÷8[(6.78)²-(5.02)²] = 0.69. We can only conclude that, owing to small

numbers, this formula is not applicable here.

Returning, then, to our conclusion that the assumption of at least

3 gametic factors for some, probably most, cases of build accords

best with the results of the various matings, we may inquire what

is the nature of these factors. It seems probable that two of them

may correspond to dystrophies of the pituitary and thyroid glands

respectively and the other or others to other regulatory mechanisms

of metabolism in the organism. It may well be that one of our factors

is the same as that which causes hypothyroidism; another as that which

causes hypopituitarism, and the third that which inhibits the normal

development of the genitalia, such as we see functioning in dystrophia

adiposo-genitalis. This is, indeed, speculation. However, the speculation

is an attempt to give a concrete form to the ideas of multiple factors in

build.

[Illustration: FIG. 53.—Solid figure (model) giving distribution of

relative chest-girth for various ages from birth to 20 years, reading

from left to right. The mean index of build at each age is centered on

the curve of development of relative chest-girth. The relative chest

girth is indicated in percentages passing from the bottom to the top of

the figure. The solid figure is illuminated from the upper part of the

page.]

If we assume three independent factors for build, it does not follow that

these are present in all families. Just as it has been demonstrated that

in different strains of mice there are in some cases 3, in others only 2

factors for susceptibility to cancer, so, apparently, it is with build.

In certain families the distribution of build in the progeny is best

accounted for on the hypothesis that, in such families, there are only

two gametic factors for build. In other families there appears to be only

one gametic factor for build.

It has been repeatedly pointed out that in many cases where multiple

factors are invoked to explain the genetical results, the results can

be equally well explained on the theory of blended inheritance. The

advantage of the factorial theory is that it brings under one type

of heredity even these most difficult cases of apparently blending

inheritance. More than that, however, the theory of multiple factors

explains a number of phenomena that the theory of blending inheritance

does not, such as the greater variability of the F₂ as contrasted with

the F₁ generation, and the skewness in distribution of progeny in the

back-cross. Thus an F × S mating should produce a “medium” progeny with

symmetrical distribution of deviating types on the theory of blending

inheritance; actually it produces not only mediums, but an excess of

fleshy over slender, which is readily accounted for on the hypothesis

that fleshiness is partially dominant over slenderness. In this and

other ways, especially in focussing attention on gametes, the doctrine

of multiple factors is essential to an adequate interpretation of the

results of mating between persons of dissimilar build.

D. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS.

1. Two types of variation in build are to be distinguished: (1) the

change in average build that accompanies ontogeny and (2) variations in

adult build.

2. The popular idea of build is best expressed as the ratio of transverse

chest diameter to stature, or (since the chest diameter is rarely

known) chest-girth to stature. When only weight and stature are known,

the closest approximation to the chest÷stature ratio is given by the

weight÷(stature)² ratio, and this is taken as the standard index of build.

3. The correlation between the standard index of build and the relative

chest-girth is, for males, about 0.45.

4. The index of build of adult males is slightly greater than of females,

because of the relatively greater chest-girth of males. The average index

of build for males is 2.52 (35.8) and for females 2.43 (34.5).

5. There are marked racial differences in build; but they are not so

great as the differences in ontogenetic stages.

6. There are geographical differences in build; the heavy build of

northern peoples may be due to a physiological reaction or, in part, to a

selective survival of the fleshier individuals or strains.

7. The ontogenetic curve of build, expressed by relative chest-girth, is

expressed by figure 1 and (for infancy) figure 2. It shows that at birth

chest-girth is about two-thirds of stature and diminishes in the male to

the age of 12 years; thereafter, on the average, it rises to complete

maturity.

8. Build declines temporarily during the first month of life, owing to

the physiological difficulties attending adjustment to new conditions.

It declines temporarily, again, at about 8 months, probably due to the

cutting of the incisor teeth.

9. The heavy build of the infant corresponds to that of the short-legged

anthropoids. The long-legged, slender-build stage of the boy of 12 years

persists in the Nilotic negroes and many low-grade feeble-minded.

10. In adult life the changes in build vary with families. In those

characterized by slender build there is typically little change. In those

characterized by fleshy build there is typically progressive increase

in weight to 50 years. In some families weight fluctuates greatly at

different periods of adult life. In general, though with numerous

exceptions, a fleshy adult build is foreshadowed in plump build in

childhood.

11. Mass studies on adult build give a polygon of distribution which is

skew, the mode being toward the slenderer end of the polygon. There is

evidence of more than one mode, and hence that there are two or more

types of build. For purposes of description five classes of build are

recognized—very slender, slender, medium, fleshy, and very fleshy.

12. The diseases associated with very slender and slender build are:

tuberculosis, pneumonia, “nervousness,” melancholia. The diseases

associated with very fleshy or fleshy build are: diabetes, nephritis and

dropsy, apoplexy, and arterio-sclerosis and paralysis accompanying it;

also numerous diseases of the alimentary tract.

13. Fleshy parents have, on the average, in our data, larger families

than slender parents.

14. Regression toward mediocrity is less striking in the offspring of

slender than of fleshy parents, suggesting that fleshy parents carry not

only genes for fleshiness but also for slenderness, while slender parents

more rarely carry genes for fleshiness.

15. The offspring of two fleshy parents are twice as variable as those of

slender parents.

16. The hypothesis is indicated that genetically build is controlled

by multiple factors, with fleshiness tending slightly to dominate over

slenderness.

17. There is a marked tendency for persons of similar build (or with

potentialities for such) to intermarry. Dissimilar builds are selected

against.

18. Two slender parents of slender stock have rarely any progeny whose

index of build exceeds 2.2, or just above the upper limit of the slender

group. In general, the progeny of slender parents are relatively slightly

variable.

19. The slender parents are apparently of two kinds: those carrying

only one kind of factor for fleshy build and the other two such gametic

factors. The progeny of the former are very slightly variable; those of

the latter more variable.

20. By comparing coefficients of variability instead of indices, and

by making allowance for the greater range of the fleshy class than the

slender class, it still appears that the progeny of fleshy parents are

relatively and per unit range more variable than the progeny of slender

parents. Absolutely the offspring of the fleshy parents are, as stated,

twice as variable as of slender parents.

21. The matings of slender parents and fleshy parents of fleshy stock

yield a variable progeny, such as is typically found in the F₁ generation

when multiple factors are concerned. The variability is between that of

the progeny of slender matings and that of the progeny of fleshy matings.

22. The F₁ generation has not a mode of build that is intermediate

between that of the parental stocks, but one that is about the same as of

the fleshy matings. This is evidence of partial dominance of fleshiness.

23. The mating of two heterozygous (F₁) parents produces, in general, an

exceptionally variable progeny. This is one of the strongest evidences of

the presence of genetical factors in build.

24. Many, if not most, parents of medium build belong to biotypes with 1

or 2 independent factors for build. Consequently the progeny of medium ×

medium matings is often strikingly invariable.

25. The “back-cross” of a heterozygous parent with a slender parent, on

the one hand, or with a fleshy parent of fleshy stock, on the other,

gives a variable progeny, whose mode is shifted toward fleshiness; but

which shows a tendency to fall again into the slender (or fleshy) and

medium-fleshy grandparental types.

26. Variations in build are not to be accounted for merely by variations

in intake and out-go of calories, but also by the endogenous factors that

determine the “economy of nutrition” or the cost in energy of adding

an additional kilogram of weight to the body. The factors involved in

producing differences in these respects are hereditary factors.

27. The hereditary factors probably work through the intermediacy of

special organs that influence metabolism, notably the endocrine glands.

The latter thus intermediate between the chromosomal constitution, on the

one hand, and control of metabolic processes, on the other.

28. The number of factors involved in very fleshy build is, in some cases

at least, three independent ones. But the number is probably not the same

in all biotypes. Probably in some there is only one, in others four or

more.

29. The factors probably influence the functioning of the thyroid,

pituitary, and perhaps other glands.
