The differences between the white and the colored children are 

 riot as well defined as they would be if we had sufficient numbers of 

 the colored subjects. It will be noticed, however, that among the 

 colored children there were found none with strabismus; further, 

 that the head of the colored children in both sexes shows less fre- 

 quent irregularities, and the limbs, also, in both sexes, more frequent 

 irregularities, than is the case in the white children. The teeth and 

 the face in the colored girls are less frequently affected than they 

 are among the white girls. The differences in the palate, which 

 seem so apparent are chiefly due to the small number of the colored 

 subjects. 



I will give next the varieties of abnormalities which were observed in 

 connection with the different parts of the body. In this case we will 

 follow the parts of the body in the order in which they were in- 

 spected. Abnormalities about the serious nature of which there is 

 no doubt will be printed in italics.
