Kallmann (1953) studied the differences between uniovular twins discordant for schizophrenia and found there to be a definite superiority in physical strength and body weight in the unaffected twin. This paper is concerned with some aspects of the growth of psychotic boys, to determine if the inferiority noted by Kallmann is generally detectable.
