A Record of the Body Weight and Certain organs of animals

THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE

VOL. XL SEPTEMBER, 1940 No. 5

A RECORD OF THE BODY WEIGHT AND CERTAINORGAN AND GLAND WEIGHTS OF 3690 ANIMALS

GEORGE CRILE, M. D.,Cleveland Clinic Foundation,

andDANIEL P. QUIRING, Ph. D.,

Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Western Reserve University,Cleveland, Ohio

The weight data presented in the following table are offeredin 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 ClevelandClinic Foundation Expeditions to various parts of the world.These expeditions included one to the South-western area of theUnited 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. Inaddition, certain data are included which have been collected byW. 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 MemorialLaboratory, Panama. Certain data on primates were securedthrough the courtesy of the Department of Physiology of theYale University Medical School. The material on the horseswas 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 ofdissections in the laboratory of his division. The figures on thegorilla are based on a partial dissection of a specimen at theAmerican Museum of Natural History, through the courtesy ofDr. W. K. Gregory and Dr. H. C. Raven. The data on thehuman being were obtained through the co-operation of Dr.Harry C. R. Darling, Sidney, Australia; Dr. Nils P. Larsen,

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 datarepresent fresh weights taken immediately after the animal wassacrificed. The larger animals were weighed on a Chatillonscale of 600 pound capacity, in the case of the heaviest animalsthis necessitated quartering or cutting the body into sections tofit the scale. The smaller animals were weighed either in aChatillon autopsy scale, a Cenoco triple beam balance or anOhaus beam balance. The glands and organs likewise wereweighed in these scales except for the very small glands whichwere weighed in an analytical balance.

It will be noted that some records are more complete thanothers; this is due in part to changes which were made in ourprogram over the period of some ten years and in part to theimpossibility of getting complete records for many of theanimals. No attempt has been made to arrange the groups inorder of relative development. A rough alphabetical listinghas been made.

In connection with the degree of accuracy of the weights, insome instances these have been carried beyond the limits oferror. Generally, however, we have attempted to hold to anaccuracy of one per cent. In the case of animals which wereweighed in pieces, we allowed five per cent for loss of blood andbody 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 thelocale or country from which the animal was obtained. Incertain cases, other pertinent information has been included.

The scientific names have been checked by us and have beenexamined by Arthur B. Fuller, of the Cleveland Museum ofNatural History. If any errors have occurred in naming, theauthors take responsibility for them.
