The purpose of this volume is to present material from reliable sources in a compact, convenient form, handy and quick reference and restricted to aspcts of growth and development likely to be most required by medical practitioners dealing with children. The data is presented mainly in the form of charts and tables representing normal values with an indication of the range which may be expected within a British population.
