    Specific Gravity of Blood. 1056- 1056-9 1057- 1057-9 1058- 1058-9 1059- I059-9 1060- 1060-9 1061 Number of Brothers and Sisters. 8-9 7-8 6-7 - 5-6 ... 5-6 4-5 Here it may be remarked that in women the specific gravity of the blood is lower in the years immediately suc- ceeding puberty, but children begotten in early life have not a lower specific gravity of blood than those begotten in later life. The observations given below were all made during the past year on single women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-seven; but it is difficult to collect many observations, because one has to avoid those married women who have borne children, and those who are pregnant or suckling. The average number of brothers and sisters was as given below: Specific Gravity Number of Brothers of Blood. and Sisters. 1052-1055-9 7-8 1056-1057-9 6-7 1058 5-6 It appears that in women and in men a low specific gravity of the blood is found in those whose mothers were prolific ; so that, by examining the blood of a man or woman, one may forecast the number of brothers and sisters. Those women who have the lowest specific gravity of the blood, and the largest number of brothers and sisters, are generally fair, with pretty pink and white
