 is amply shown by many cases shown subsequently. 



2. There occur several examples of the reduplication of a single 

 inherited unit, sometimes involving a single band, sometimes 

 two or more. Doubtless the anomalies of band I and band 2 in 

 the mother represent a merely reversed reduplication of the same 

 inheritance unit. Similarly in fetus II. the series of three double 

 scutes in the middle of band I, the double scute near the middle 

 of band 6 and the scute in the middle of the left half of band I 

 are varied manifestations of the same anomaly. 



3. There is more extensive doubling in the two primary bud 

 individuals II. and IV. than in the two secondary bud individuals 

 I. and HI.

The mother has a short series of 3 double scutes in positions 

 8, 9 and 10 from the left. 



Fetus I. has a series of 5 double scutes occupying positions 5, 6, 

 7, 8 and 9 from the middle of the band. 



Fetus II. has on the left 4 single scutes, and the rest of the
