HARRIS HAWTHORNE WILDER. 



FIG. 20. Print of right foot of Liberian negro; H. H. W. Coll. No. 585, collected 

 by F. Starr. Here the loop which corresponds with the two preceding is brought 

 into association with a more distal one turned the other way, and perhaps, if we 

 may believe in the theoretical completion of the figure as indicated, there is involved 

 a third loop, more proximal than the others. Careful notice must be taken that 

 the heavy lines of the margin, which indicate the tread area, are here all that we 

 have, as the subject is somewhere in Liberia, and not available, and therefore, that 

 the completion of the lines outside of this margin are wholly theoretical. In all of 

 the other cases the lines outside of the tread area rest upon actual prints ob- 

 tained by rolling the foot. This print has been previously printed (Amer.Anlhropol., 

 1913, p. 205).
