.u ^^^- 43.— The "Hovel" type of reproductions of defectives. In a hut in 

 the woods there was brought up a family of defectives. One of the boys who 

 IS a drunken, feeble-minded fellow with criminalistic tendencies, had by his 

 own sister a daughter who is a drunken epileptic, who has been the inmate 

 both of the county jail and the county poorhouse. By her father she had 

 4 children of whom 1 is epileptic, 2 are feeble-minded (the girl has a 

 very bad record of drunkenness, crime and immorahty) and the other one 

 was an idiot monster who died directly after being born. Close inbreeding of 

 such a strain results only in this imperfect fruit. Abbreviations as above: '^
