194 H - H ' NEWMAN. 



Set K 76 (p. 185). Fetus II. has a double scute 12 places from 

 the right margin of band i. Fetus II. has a similar element 12 

 places to the right of the middle of band i. Again fetus III. has 

 a double scute 8 places to the right of middle of band 2, and fetus 

 IV. has a similar element 9 places from the right margin of band 4. 

 Here each pair of fetuses mirrors the other as to the right half of 

 the carapace. 



Set K 56 (p. 184). Fetus I. has a double scute 7 places from 

 the right margin of band 6. Fetus II. has a similar anomaly 6 

 places to the right of the middle of band I and a second anomaly 

 9 places from the left margin of band 2, and a third anomaly 9 

 places to the left of the middle of band 4. Fetus III. has a double 

 element 8 places from the right margin of band 7. Fetus IV. 

 has a similar element 4 places from the left margin of band 2 and 

 another element 9 places from the right margin of band 8. All 

 of these anomalies are, I believe, directly inherited from the 

 mother, who has a double scute u places to the left of the middle 

 of band 4, but there are numerous reversals within the set in- 

 volving a shifting up and down the long axis. This is one of the 

 most complex cases in the collection and would bear careful study 

 as it illustrates most of the symmetry phases seen in armadillo 

 quadruplets. 



F. Cases of Half-Band Reversals in the Same Individual. 

 Set K 56 (p. 184). Bands 2 and 4 of fetus II. have a reversed 

 symmetry of the left half. 



Set K 76 (p. 185). Fetus II. has a reversed symmetry in 

 bands I and 4; Fetus IV. has a reversed symmetry in the two 

 halves of band 4. 



G. Longitudinal Reduplication Down the Long Axis. It is 

 fairly common to find an inherited anomaly appearing not 

 merely once but repeated in two or more bands. Sometimes an 

 anomaly of an anterior band is balanced by a similarly located 

 anomaly in a posterior band. The condition is somewhat like 

 that which appears in transverse rows of double scutes that are 

 called double bands, but the tendency for an extended condition 

 of the anomaly is vertical instead of horizontal and is seldom con- 

 tinuous. 



Set K 32 (p. 184). Fetus II. has a double scute in band 2 and 

 another exactly in a vertical line with it in band 7.
