The formula runs: 10 . ., the exponent letter (Z referring to the extra delta. Placing it inconnection with Line B as well as D signifies that this line also might beconsidered to end in it, if it were not prolonged through it. The rather The Palm of the Hand 145 unusual thenar pattern at the base of the thumb is indicated, but not welldeveloped. Figure 50. Line C is here small, and makes an insignificant looptoward the inner, or thumb, side of the palm. Both thenar and hypothenarpatterns are present, also a carpal triradius. Formula: Aside from these actual prints, we present here a series of drawings. Figure 48. Palm print, with the formula: 10. 0. 6. 4. C. taken from prints, and giving the lines which are essential for the delinea-tion of the conditions. These are all taken from left hands, and the posi-tion of the fingers, which are not given, can be readily learned from theposition of the four digital deltas. These may be considered in turn. Figure 51. This figure shows the simplest formula possible, whereLines A, B, and C all run across the palm, approximately parallel to oneanother, and open out upon the outer margin in the position 5. In thisease, which is by no means rare. Line D curves about in the only space 146 Personal Identification left for it, and runs into the space between the httle and ring fingers. For-mula: This formula, with its variants, , , , , is of such great frequency in the negro race that one is almosttempted to call it the Negro form
