i6 THE JUKES. 



ing page 15, in the first line in the column headed "generation 

 three, you will find " (i) b. m. A. 70 X (6) 1. f. B.," which would 

 mean that the first child of Ada, a bastard male, aged seventy at 

 death, married the sixth legitimate female child of Bell, age un- 

 known. Passing to the next generation we should get '• (i) 1. m. A. 

 B. X f. X.," the first child, a legitimate male of A. and B., married 

 a female whose antecedents are unknown. Passing down to the 

 next generation we should get " (2) 1. f. A. B. X. = (i) b. m. E. X. 

 X.," which means the second child, a legitimate female, of A. B. 

 and X., cohabits with the first child, an illegitimate male, of E. X. 

 and X. Other abbreviations will be found explained on the charts. 



Consanguinity and Crossing. — In surveying the whole family, as it 

 is the mapped out in the Charts, I find groups which may be consider- 

 ed distinctively industrious, distinctively criminal, distinctively pau- 

 per, and specifically diseased. These features run along lines of 

 descent so that you can follow them from generation to generation, 

 the breaks in the line at certain points indicating with great precis- 

 ion the modifying effects of disease, training, or fortuitous circum- 

 stance which have intervened and changed the current of the career. 



A glance at table II., which epitomizes in a very general way 

 the details contained in the larger charts, shows these distinctions 

 with measurable accuracy, and helps us to some conclusions : 



Tentative Inductions. — i. Boys preponderate in the illegitimate 



lines. 



2. Girls preponderate in the intermarried branches. 



3. Lines of intermarriage between " Jukes " show a minimum 

 of crime. 



4. Pauperism preponderates in the consanguineous lines. 



5. In the main, crime begins in progeny where "Juke " crosses 

 X blood. 



6. The illegitimate lines have chiefly married into X. 



7. Crime preponderates in the illegitimate lines. 



8. The apparent anomaly presents itself, that the illegitimate 

 criminal lines show collateral branches which are honest and indus- 

 trious. When we come to the study of crime and honesty, and their 

 relation to character and environment, we shall find an explanation 

 of this apparent inconsistency.
