Similarly the part 1, comparative studies are made on the girth of the chest ratio, the sitting height ratio, Rohrer's index, Kaup's index and the girth of the upper arm of blind and normal school-children (6-19 year) in four prefectures of Tohoku district, and the following characteristics are found.
(1) In the weight and the girth of the chest, blinds are not so inferior to normals as in the height, therefore the girth of the chest ratio and Rohrer's index of blinds are somewhat greater than normals'.
(2) The sitting height ratio of blinds are greater than normals' in spite of the height of blinds are inferior to normals' so it seems that blinds have shorter legs than normals.
(3) Kaup's index of blinds are inferior to normals'.
(4) The girth of the upper arm of blinds are greater than normals' at the young ages, but the elder ages in school-life are inferior to normals.
