Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Physical Anthropology, 1919, Vol. 2
After this had been done an attempt to determine the true normal spleen weight was undertaken. Every accident case or record of sudden death was scrutinized carefully and only those were selected as normal where no infection had supervened, and where no record was given of any pathological condition involving the spleen. Only 26 spleens of white men, 23 of negro men, 15 of white women and 7 of negro women were found that seemed to be normal. A list of these is given at the end with the available data and the relation of the spleen weight to stature. No spleen weights are included where the individuals were below the age of 22 years or above the age of 75 years and no spleen is included where the weight exceeds 250 grams. A table of the normal spleen weight follows.
