'^M. E. Alix has examined the papillary lines in the hand and sole of 
Quadrumana, comparing them with those of man and of those Mammals in 
which such lines occur. He enters on this occasion into considerations of 
the form, structure, and functions of hand and foot generally. The develop- 
ment of the papillary lines appears to him to be in accordance with the grade 
occupied by the animal in the class. They could not be used by themselves 
as a systematic character ; but their knowledge is useful in confirming views 
obtained from other facts. Ann. Sc. Nat. viii. pp. 296-362 j ix. pp. 5-42, 
pis. 2-6.

the latter with two incisors only ; and he adds that the second upper pre-
