ABSTRACT IN a recent paper1 Dr. C. C. Hurst has discussed the inheritance of intelligence in man. After adverting to the fact that the data of Galton and Woods show that general intelligence
in adults grades continuously from high to low both in general and in selected populations, Dr. Hurst finds it convenient to adopt ten grades of intelligence, because some of the data he
uses is already so graded. He regards as a special _non-segregating_ type those families which consist only of Grade 5 (mediocre) offspring whatever the grades of the parents, while he is
content to classify as _segregating_ a family of four Grade 4 (dull) offspring of parents themselves both of Grade 4. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
