This paper reports the results of a study made at the Curtis Clinic and Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. The patients were studied from medical and endocrine standpoints by Dr. Karl E. Paschkis, anthropologically by J. Lawrence Angel, psychiatrically by Drs. Robert R. Schopbach, Albert Kaplan, and Robert A. Matthews. Dr. Paul Swenson collaborated in radiologic studies, and Olive J. Morgan, Ph.D., carried out the psychologic tests. For advice and criticism, the writers are deeply indebted to Dr. Karl E. Paschkis.
