A RECORD OF THE BODY WEIGHT AND CERTAIN

ORGAN AND GLAND WEIGHTS OF 3690 ANIMALS
GEORGE CRILE, M. D.,
Cleveland Clinic Foundation,
and
DANIEL P. QUIRING, Ph. D.,
Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Western Reserve University,
Cleveland, Ohio

The weight data presented in the following table are offered

in the hope that they may be of value to the biologist, physiol-
ogist and particularly to the student of growth phenomena.
They were collected in Northern Ohio and by several Cleveland
Clinic Foundation Expeditions to various parts of the world.
These expeditions included one to the South-western area of the
United States, one to Brunswick Island, Georgia, one to Africa,
one to Key West, Florida, one to the Northeastern arctic ter-
ritory of Canada and one to Mexico and Guatemala. In
addition, certain data are included which have been collected by
W. W. Swett and associates of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C , by S. Naccarati,
and by Dr. Herbert Clark, Director of the Gorgas Memorial
Laboratory, Panama. Certain data on primates were secured
through the courtesy of the Department of Physiology of the
Yale University Medical School. The material on the horses
was made available to us through the co-operation of Dr. W. W.
Dimock, head of the Animal Pathology Division of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky, who permitted us to make a large series of
dissections in the laboratory of his division. The figures on the
gorilla are based on a partial dissection of a specimen at the
American Museum of Natural History, through the courtesy of
Dr. W. K. Gregory and Dr. H. C. Raven. The data on the
human being were obtained through the co-operation of Dr.
Harry C. R. Darling, Sidney, Australia; Dr. Nils P. Larsen,
219
220 GEORGE CRILE AND DANIEL P. QUIRING Vol. X L

Honolulu, Hawaii; Dr. C. C. Sweet, Ossining, New York;

Dr. Carlos Duran, Guatemala; and Dr. John Hertz, Copen-
hagen, Denmark; and on our own dissections.
With few exceptions, marked with an asterisk, our own data
represent fresh weights taken immediately after the animal was
sacrificed. The larger animals were weighed on a Chatillon
scale of 600 pound capacity, in the case of the heaviest animals
this necessitated quartering or cutting the body into sections to
fit the scale. The smaller animals were weighed either in a
Chatillon autopsy scale, a Cenoco triple beam balance or an
Ohaus beam balance. The glands and organs likewise were
weighed in these scales except for the very small glands which
were weighed in an analytical balance.
It will be noted that some records are more complete than
others; this is due in part to changes which were made in our
program over the period of some ten years and in part to the
impossibility of getting complete records for many of the
animals. No attempt has been made to arrange the groups in
order of relative development. A rough alphabetical listing
has been made.
In connection with the degree of accuracy of the weights, in
some instances these have been carried beyond the limits of
error. Generally, however, we have attempted to hold to an
accuracy of one per cent. In the case of animals which were
weighed in pieces, we allowed five per cent for loss of blood and
body fluids. All weights represent the body weight plus what-
ever mass was present in the stomach and intestine.
Under the heading "Remarks," we have given chiefly the
locale or country from which the animal was obtained. In
certain cases, other pertinent information has been included.
The scientific names have been checked by us and have been
examined by Arthur B. Fuller, of the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History. If any errors have occurred in naming, the
authors take responsibility for them.
