If the exterior lineations were hazy or blurred, asthey often are in such cases, too much stress might readily be laidupon the resemblance at the centre part, which is so far really com-plete, yet the three resembling patterns belong to Tom, Dick, andHarry respectively. It is difficult to make the matter clearer without an extensiveseries of costly enlargements, but I am myself thoroughly convincedthat the danger is real of false identification through neglect of thisgreat class of facts, which no expert seems to me to have thoroughlygrasped up till now. There are, then, many patterns where the importance ofsymmetrical reversal or chirality is very great. If this is rememberedonce and for all the matter need not present any practical difficulty,where expert evidence is available. 24 Symmetrioal and Unsymmetrical Sets of Fingers.
