Abstract :
The technique of analytical photogrammetry has been applied to the problem of precisely specifying some of the spatial features of the growing mouse. In particular, the surface area and volume have been determined, and contour maps prepared. It is shown that the variations in weight, surface area, and volume are well represented by third-order polynomials.
