The New York statistical tables on heredity were discontinued in 1907, at which time a total of 104,013 cases had been reported. In 31,290 of these no information was available, leaving a total of 72,622, excluding the not insane. A history of insanity was shown in the paternal branch of the family in 8.6 per cent of the ascertained cases, in the maternal branch in 10.1 per cent, in both paternal and maternal in 1.7 per cent, and in collateral branches in eleven per cent,—a total of 31.4 per cent in which some form of heredity was reported. These statistics relate only to insanity in the family history. There were so many sources of inaccuracy that it was not thought worth while to continue these studies after 1907. Comparisons between the heredity of mental cases and that of normal individuals have been rather surprising. Koller, for instance, as quoted by Kraepelin,[67] in a comparison of 370 healthy with a similar number of insane individuals found a history of psychopathic defects in the immediate families of fifty-nine per cent of the former and 76.8 per cent of the latter. Diem[68] in 1905 made an analysis of the family history of 1193 healthy individuals. This was compared with 1850 mental cases. Neuropathic heredity of some kind was found in 78.2 per cent of the mental cases and 66.9 per cent of the healthy individuals. There was, however, a history of mental diseases in the families of 38.3 per cent of the insane patients as compared with 7.1 per cent of the normal individuals. Somewhat different results were noted in a study of the parents. There was a paternal or maternal history of insanity in 18.1 per cent of the families of the mental cases as compared with 2.2 per cent in the cases of the normal individuals. In the direct parentage, Koller found mental diseases in 57.3 per cent of the families of the insane as compared with 28 per cent in the case of normal individuals. Kraepelin states that the influence of the father is greater in heredity than is that of the mother. The father, furthermore, usually transmits to the son while the mother influences the daughter more.
