With the view of planning garments, a series of studies on junior high school girls physical-types were made. Items measured consist of 7 lengths, 1 width, 5 circumferences and weight, totaling 14 items. The main results are as follows : 1. Mean values of all 14 items increase gradually with advanced age. 2. By the third year of junior high school, the mean values of 8 measurements, i.e, back waist height, tibiale height, total posterior arm length, posterior shoulder length, waist girth, hip girth, neck-base girth, and upper arm girth, approximately reach those of the adult females. 3. We classified body-type of 8 items. The classes are 9 groups divided at ±0.25δ, ±0.75δ, ±1.25δ, ±1.75δ, ±2.25δ, centering at mean values. The yearly increases are more striking for the groups in G(-4), G(-3), but G(4), G(3) are less. 4. Earlier growth means earlier menarche.
