title: Birth weight, length, head and chest circumference and haemoglobin level of new born.
abstract: The birth weight, length, head and chest circumference and haemoglobin level of 1002 full term new born babies (506 males and 496 females) were determined. The results were compared with similar data from other countries. The birth weight of the present series of newborns were similar to those of newborns from India, the crown-heel length agreed favourably with the data from India and Indonesia, and the head circumference were almost equal to those of the newborns from Sri Lanka, Jamaica and India.
