Aron ('14) noted no permanent stunting of rats underfed less than 150 days. Similar results were obtained by Osborne and Mendel ('14a, '15a), who found no suppression of growth capacity in young rats whose growth had been retarded for long periods by various inade- quate diets (to be mentioned later). On the other hand, Aron ('io, 'n, '14) and B riming ('14) found that severe underfeeding of young dogs and rats apparently prevents them from reaching normal adult size upon later full feeding.
