One hundred and fifty males in the age group 10-17 years were studied longitudinally for 2 years to determine their physical and pubertal development. The velocity of linear growth, weight gain and pubertal growth velocities were determined. The relation between peak height velocity and genital stages and between genital stages and pubic hair was determined. It is concluded from this study that 86 percent of normal males reach peak height velocity while in G4 and only 5% will not have achieved peak height velocity by the time G5 is reached.
