One of the daughters became Mrs. J---- (one of the informants), and had three daughters and five sons, all normal except one of the sons, James J----, now æt. 17, who had six fingers on each hand.... "In this branch of the descendants of Esther, we see it passing over two generations and reappearing in one member of the third generation, and now on both hands. "(3.) Charles L----, the only child of Esther who had digital variety, had six fingers on each hand. He had three sons, James, Thomas, and John, all of whom were born with six fingers on each hand, while John has also a sixth toe on one foot. He had also five other sons and four daughters, all of whom were normal. "(a.) Of the normal children of this, the third generation, the five sons had twelve sons and twelve daughters, and the four daughters have had four sons and four daughters, being the fourth generation, all of whom were normal. A fifth generation in this sub-group consists as yet of only two boys and two girls who are also normal. "In this sub-branch, we see the variety of the first generation present in the second, passing over the third and fourth, and also the fifth as far as it has yet gone. "(b.) James had three sons and two daughters, who are normal. "(c.) Thomas had four sons and five daughters, who are normal; and has two grandsons, also normal. "In this sub-branch of the descent, we see the variety of the first generation, showing itself in the second and third, and passing over the fourth, and (as far as it yet exists) the fifth generation. "(d.) John L---- (one of the informants) had six fingers, the additional finger being attached on the outer side, as in the case of his brothers James and Thomas.

The sixth toes are not wrapped with the fifth as in her father's case, but are distinct from them. The son has a son and daughter, who, like himself, are normal.
