Abstract
The object of this paper is to test the following two hypotheses: 1.That the physique of female adults can be regarded as the resultant of two independent modes of variation, one determining differences in size or bulk, and the other determining differences in proportion or type. 2.That a relation exists between schizophrenia and manic-depres sion, on the one hand, and differences in physical proportion or type, on the other.Keywords
