Abstract
THE correlations given in our communication1 were summarized from sex-specific and age or centre-specific correlations previously published by us2–4 or distributed in photo-offset form and at present in the press5. Whether pooled weighted values of r were used (using Z transforms of r) or whether sister–sister, sister–brother and brother–brother correlations were compared, using a sign test, rSS is larger than rBB but not rSB in osseous and dental developmental timing.
