 Family Faculties ' (into which, if more space is wanted, 

 additional pages may be stitched), or they may be 

 written in any other book with pages of the same size 

 as those of the Record, provided that the information be 

 arranged in the same tabular form and order. (It will 

 be obvious thai; uniformity in the arrangement of docu-

 and collate a large number of them.) 



" Each competitor must furnish the name and address 

 of a referee of good social standing (magistrate, clergy- 

 man, lawyer, medical practitioner, &c), who is personally 

 acquainted with his family, and of whom inquiry may 

 be made, if desired, as to the general trustworthiness of 

 the competitor. 



" The Extracts must be sent prepaid and by post, 

 addressed to Francis G-alton, 42 Rutland Gate, London, 

 S.W. It will be convenient if the letters ' R.F.F.' 

 (Record of Family Faculties) be written in the left- 

 hand corner of the parcel, below the address.
