Remarks on Tables 14 a, 15 a, and 16 a. (a) It will be seen from these 
Tables that the association of types between corresponding fingers of the two 
hands is, with one exception, always closer than that between any other pair of 
fingers. The order of magnitude of these associations is : — 
(1) Little Finger, (2) Ring Finger, (3) Middle Finger, (4) Thumb, (5) Index 
Finger. 
(h) If we omit the thumb for the present, leaving it for separate comment, 
and consider the association between corresponding fingers as of the " first order," 
that between fingers of consecutive rank, such as R^ and R-., or i?.^ and L^ as of the 
" second order," and so on, we notice a significant relation between any particular 
association and its " order." Thus : 
First order associations range from "899 to •704 or '698, 
Second „ „ „ „ ^724 to -608, 
Third „ „ „ „ ^609 to -5.37, 
Fourth „ „ „ „ •539 to •515. 
The amount of overlapping in these ranges appears to be quite insignificant.
