✦ Synopsis

Summay

When height growth curves are linearized, these lines are nearly concurrent after the growth spurt(bhsnYaara, 1979, 1982 b, ID@), i.e. there exists a nearly fixed point, which seems to correspond to the upper limit of the growth of the mean person. On other hand, before the spurt, there seems to exist a nearlyfixed point on the mean distance-velocity curve between 4 and 6 years of age. To grasp easily the existence of nearly fixed point, instead of many straight linea surrounding this point, we represent them dually by many points surrounding a stiaight line.
