FAMILY RECORD. 27 



been possible to reach a certain conclusion. A photograph of her hands 

 (fig. 5) shows at least that she did not have the B !-type of brachy- 

 phalangy, but from our discussion of the B-type later it will be seen 

 that she may very well have had this type of the malformation. It 

 would have been necessary to have a photograph of the inside of her 

 hands to settle the question. One of her husband's children by his 

 second marriage has heard that her index fingers were slightly short- 

 ened, but our experience with such information prevents us from 

 regarding it as of much value. 



The question is a very important one for our investigation, as will 

 be seen later when we describe the two children, 115.1 9 and 115.2 9 , 

 who were born from her marriage with her brachyphalangous cousin. 

 If she was heterozygous for brachyphalangy, the only possibility in 

 our material for children homozygous for brachyphalangy is present. 

 The investigation of her children furnishes us, as we shall see, with 

 very interesting points for a further discussion of this question. 



11.5 cf C. A. B. H. married the second time, in 1874, S. M. C. W., 

 who was unrelated to him and had normal hands. They had 6 chil- 

 dren 115.3-115.8 (p. 29-32). 



This finishes the study of this family, representing the III genera- 

 tion of line 1. The result indicates that 2 out of the 5 members of the 

 family had the B !-type of the anomaly. The 3 others are supposed 

 to have been normal, but the possibility that some of them may have 

 had the B-type can not with certainty be excluded. In treating this 

 line we have also finished the record of line 7, the only individual 

 belonging to this line, namely 17.1 9 F. G. )., the daughter of 1.7 cf L. )., 

 having married into line 1 and being therefore referred to here. 



LINE 1, IV GENERATION. 



The fourth generation of line 1 includes three families, the children 

 of 11.4 9 L. A. H. H., who had normal hands, and those of the 

 brachyphalangous 11.5 cf C. A. B. H. by his two marriages.
