 In other words, the offspring from such a mating may be either

 of the six offspring two died in childhood, two were normal, one

Similarly in Chart III we find a mating which may be repre-

 Of the four offspring one died in childhood, one was normal, one 

 had manic-depressive insanity, and the remaining one is de-
