Fingerprints
When a photographic enlargement has been made, it is necessary to

Impressions to be so taken that the flexure of the last joint shall
be immediately above the black line marked (Fold). If the impression
of any digit be defective a second print may be taken in the vacant
space above it.

obtained, or is deformed and yields a bad print, the fact should be
noted under _Remarks_.
