Abstract
Figures are given for stature, weight and head circumference in 445 male and 424 female Aboriginal children ranging in age from newborn to 20 years, and comparisons are made with the children of other peoples. It seems probable that in a normal season nomadic children enjoyed a better diet than those brought up under partial acculturation.Keywords
