N2  - It is the purpose of this article to supply more accurate data than have heretofore been available on total, differential and absolute leukocyte counts and sedimentation rates for healthy children 4 to 7 years of age. The article is one of a series of papers on hematologic standards for healthy persons from birth through adult life. The data for other age groups will be reported elsewhere.1(Footnote continued on next page)Examination of the literature reveals that there are almost no studies by modern methods of the total, differential and absolute leukocyte counts of strictly healthy American children of the age group under consideration. Such figures as are available are based almost entirely on studies of sick children, although these children were thought by the investigators to have illnesses not likely to affect the leukocyte count.2 Carstanjen,3 Karnizki4 and Perlin5 reported results of studies made
