Once in a while the core of the loop, and perhaps alittle more, may lie within the tread area, and form a conspicuous featureof an ordinary tread area print; or, again, the core may lie just beyond it,so that the rounded ridges that form the loop are not seen. In this lattercase the core may be printed by rolling the foot outward. This pattern The Sole of the Foot 183 corresponds to the Outer, or Ulnar pattern of the palm, and is named theFibular pattern, from the outer of the two bones of the lower leg, the fibula,which in position corresponds to the ulna of the c Figure 73. Tracing of the entiresole print of a small boy, showing boththe hypothenar (fibular) loop (H), andthe rare calcar pattern (C). This latteris always associated with a triradius ofits own (d). The second of the occasional features is the Calcar pattern (Figure 73,C). As its name denotes, it occurs upon the heel, and is usually in the formof a simple loop, opening inward and somewhat forward, and accompanied bya distinct delta. The present authors know of but nine cases of this rarestof patterns in some 800 separate feet, and as in two cases the individualsso marked possessed this feature on both heels, this reduces the number of 184 Personal Identification different individuals thus marked to seven. Of these, again, five weremembers of one family, where the pattern was undoubtedly further cases have been cited by European investigators, thus makingonly eleven separate patt
