Semilogarithmic plot of growth of tail in P. polionotus, maniculatus, oreas, gossypinus, truei, floridanus, californiais, and thomasi. Symbols are the same as those in Fig. 3. It is doubtful if the slow increase in weight shown by older Peromysciis can be equated with "true" growth, as it is probably largely attributable to the laying on of fat; accumulation of secre- tions, intercellular or bony matrix; development of the reproductive system; and similar accretiona

Although, as Laird et al. (1965) point out, this aspect of growth as distinguished from self replicative processes probably extends back to the prenatal period, it becomes relatively more apparent with the cessation of exponen- tial growth as the animal approaches Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original King, John Arthur, 1921-.
