%X Skin samples were taken at intervals from birth to several months of age, and counts made of the ratio of secondary to primary follicles. This ratio, which is of the order of 2-4 at birth, increases to about 13-18 by 30-40 days after birth and then increases slowly to the mature value of 18-24 over several months.
