An examination of other charts, such as that for No. 113 (fig. 18) and those for the younger children, shows similar general trends, namely, low heat values on the bases of body-weight and body-surface, with a gradual increase as the age advances from 7 months to 1 year. Of special significance is the fact that these wide variations in the.
