This will be given particular attention in the next sis of the Marshallese data compared with many individuals in other racial groups revealed that the young Marshallese adult male (age group 20 ceeded the exposed in incidence of inflammatory diseases such as adenopathy, bronchitis, and phar- development. Table 8 shows a comparison of the anthropometric data on males of the Rongelap scoliosis, which is probably also due to the age fat and muscle of various ethnic groups. His analy- survey.

No malignant lesions were detected in the data indicated that the women were cither either the exposed or unexposed groups. Papanicolaou examinations on vaginal secretions revealed physically immature or had lost a considerable amount oflean tissue. These data as summarized several that were suspicious of malignancy. These by Dr. Behnke are presented in Appendix 9. women will be checked carefully on the next survey.
