Ecker has specially pointed out, appear to be due to a temporary 

 arrest in the development of the hairy covering, and the persistence 

 and subsequent growth in post-embryonic life of the foetal woolly 

 covering or lanugo. We can describe this as Pseudohypertrichosis

 red edges of the lips, was thickly covered with delicate, soft, 

 and partly curly hair, such as also projected from the orifices 

 of the ears and nose. The body of the Russian was somewhat

 (e.g. retarded puberty) not infrequently occur.
