'97 Die Dauerhaftigkeit des Dessins der Riefchen tmd Faltchen der Hande. 

 Arch, fiir Anthropol., Bd. XXV., pp. 29-32. (An interesting pioneer paper 

 of four pages, with prints of the author's palm at 34 and again at 75 years. 

 This is, perhaps, the first published print of a human palm. The print 

 taken at the age of 34 must have been in 1858, and thus well antedates any 

 work on the palm.)

'04 The Ventral Surface of the Mammalian Chiridium, with Especial Reference 

 to the Condition Found in Man. Zeitschr. fiir Morphol. u. Anthropol., Bd. 

 VII., pp. 261-368. (This is the fundamental paper on the comparative 

 morphology of the ridge patterns of palms and soles, and includes the study 

 of the relief of these surfaces in all mammals, and the growth of the ridges 

 surfaces, as modified by this. This paper, with that of Schlaginhaufen, 

 1905, are of first importance in the scientific study of human friction-ridges. 

 The book of Kidd, with the somewhat misleading title of " The Sense of 

 Touch, etc.," 1907, is also of interest here.)

'02 Scientific Palmistry. Pop. Sci. Monthly, Nov., 1902. (In this the four 

 main lines were first used, but designated as lines 1-4, and desciibed only as 

 they limited the areas between them, upon which the attention was mainly 

 directed.) 



'02 Palms and Soles. Amer. Journ. Anat., Vol. L, pp. 423-441. (As in the 

 previous paper, the description of individual palms and soles was based 

 upon the areas rather than the main lines. The close similarity in the 

 configuration of ridges in identical twins was also shown by two sets.) 



'03 Palm and Sole Impressions and their Use for Purposes of Personal Identi- 

 fication. Pop. Sci. Monthly, Sep., 1903, pp. 385-410. (Here is shown for 

 the first time the formulation of an individual palm by the course of the 

 four main lines, which are designated as A, B, C, and D.) 



'04 Racial Differences in Palm and Sole Configuration. Amer. Anthropol., 

 Vol. VI., pp. 244-293. (Gives condition, with comparison, of the palmar

 Whites. The Maya prints were collected by Dr. A. M. Tozzer.)
