It seems probable that he also should be recorded as essentially fleshy (73 : 665). Flo-3 Family. (Fig. 29.) This is a family of which all grandparents and Father were born in north Ireland; the children were born and reared in Greater New York. The Father, a blacksmith and farmer, suffers from digestion troubles; at 63 his formula 185/65 inches; build (44). His father, a blacksmith, died at 40 of acute indigestion; his formula 204/70 inches; build (42). His mother, who died of pleurisy at 50 years, had the formula 200/69 inches; build (42). Thus this side of the house is of stout build. The Mother has at 60 years the formula 200/64 inches; build (49). She is fat, good-natured, and a poor housekeeper. Her father, who was a carpenter and killed by an accident at 47 years, had the formula 180/70 inches; build (37). Her mother, who died of old age at 75 years, had the formula 140/63 inches; build (35). No "direct" heredity appears in the Mother's obesity. The 7 children: 1. Male, a bookkeeper, who has spinal curvature, has at 38 years the formula 140/60 inches; build (39); but this is clearly abnormally high, associated with his pathologically short stature. 2. Female, a musician, has at 36 years the formula 160/68 inches; build (35); adjusted to 50 vears, 173/68 inches; build (37). 3. Male, a detective, fond of outdoor life, has at 32 years the formula 190/69 inches; build (40); adjusted to 50 years, 200/69 inches; build (42). 4. Male, an army officer, at 29 years 186/71 inches; build (37); adjusted to 50 years, 199/71; build (39). 5. Male, a
