KURT GLASER M.D.1, ARTHUR H. PARMELEE M.D.1, and E. B. PLATTNER M.D.1

One hundred sixty-three prematurely born infants were observed from birth to 8 months of age. Their growth progress was recorded at regular intervals and evaluated in detail as to the pattern of the weight, length, head circumference and sitting height increment. Variations conditioned by differences in race, sex and birthweight were analysed. A comparison of these premature infants with normal full term infants was made. The data were evaluated statistically and graphically.
