It may be also noted that Line A presentsa greater monotony in its course than do the other lines, and for this reason,as the first term of the formula is of much importance in classification, it. Figure 46. Palm print, with the formula: seems best to reverse the terms, beginning with D instead of A. Thus theformulae for Figures 43 and 44, instead of reading: should read: I Further examples of interpreted and formulated palms are given in The Palm of the Hand 143 the next five figures, which may be considered in detail. When the MainLines and other features have been traced on a print, as here, the printis said to be ^^ interpreted,^ and such an interpretation must precede an exactformulation. Illustrations of Main Line Formulce. Figure 46, Line D, with whichwe should begin, surrounds a definite pattern, its delta belonging to thepattern upon the outer side, while there is another delta present upon theinner. These two deltas thus frame in the pattern quite as is found incertain patterns of the finger tips, as described below. The Main Line D,also
