Table 7 may be still further summarized as follows: There is evidence 

 of thalassophilia in the maternal side of the propositus in 7 cases, on the 

 paternal side in 5. Restlessness, nomadism, or adventuresomeness appear 

 6 tunes on the maternal side and 6 times on the paternal side. Hyper- 

 kinesis (energy) is mentioned 3 tunes on the paternal side and not at all 

 on the maternal; but combative is indicated 10 times as a characteristic 

 on the maternal side and 7 times as a characteristic on the paternal side. 

 Diplomatic is mentioned twice on maternal side and once on paternal; 

 administrative is recorded 2 and 3 times and courageous 1 and 1 times on 

 maternal and paternal sides respectively. Similar traits in about similar 

 proportions are thus shown on each side when the close relatives of the 

 propositus are considered en masse. What the table brings out clearly 

 is that the successful naval officer arises in families that have in other 

 instances shown the traits upon which his success has depended.
