Hatchling brain and body weights correlate positively with incubation period in some galliform birds, but this correlation is noisy. Bobwhite quail have a longer incubation period than chickens yet hatchling brains of chickens are larger than those of quail. Data are from Portmann (1947b). Black-filled circles, brain weights; grey-filled circles, body weights.
