TWO lOKTUSKS IKOM A NORMAL MOTHER 



The mother in this case was the offspring of a normal male and an alcoholized female. Although 

 weak and small at birth, she finally developed normally. She was not treated with alcohol, 

 but was mated to an alcoholized male. When she was accidentally killed, these two 

 foetuses were f(jund in her uterus — one 32" mm. long and the other 3i mm. The upper one 

 has ill-formed hind legs, and a ixwrly developed posterior part of the body; the lower one is 

 normal. It will be noted that all the afTected ofTsiiring of alcoholic guinea pigs are weak in 

 their hind extremities, and drag their legs; even to tlie point, as in this case, where the offspring 

 of a normal mother is born deformed, through the influence of an alcoholic father and grand 

 mother. (Fig. 4.)
