factor {by which dolichoceplialj comes into existence) corresponds, 

 and that they possess e. g. still a third factor in hetei'ozjgotic form, 

 so that the formulas of the parents are A^A^a^a^A^a^ and a^a^A^A^A^n^ 

 then the low values 72 and 73 of the children are explained e. g. by 

 the absence of the two factors for bracliycephaly {a^n^a^a^Ata»). 

 The daughter and the two sons who marry into families where 

 several higher indices occur, will consequently among their seven, 

 five and four children see higher values show themselves, the son 

 73.1 however who marries a daughter 76 of a family whose members 

 have also rather low indices, has a great chance, that there are 

 among his children some who represent a combination of factors, 

 that answers to the absence of e. g. three factors of heredity 

 (a,ai^ièiC,6'j) ; suchlike children surpass then the low indices of the 

 parents towards the dolichocephalic side. This is indeed the case in 

 this family : The two sons have an index of 74 and of 70. The 

 same reasoning, but now for the combination of the factors whose
