Abstract
This is the second article by this pair of investigators to be published in the JOURNAL. It is hoped that others will follow. Dr. Gardner, Professor of Psychology in Baylor University, has been particularly fortunate in having had the opportunity of studying numerous pairs of twins, several sets of triplets, and especially three interesting sets of Texas quadruplets. It has seemed advisable for her to work in collaboration with a specialist in the biology of twins and multiple births, and the various reports are prepared jointly by the two authors. In the present case all the information was gathered by Dr. Gardner, while Dr. Newman has stydied the palm and finger prints and has been responsible for deciding that these quad-JrUt-plets are a tetrasygoticla four-egg-set. It may be of some interest to state that the above diagnosis was first made on the basis of palm and finger prints alone and was subsequently amply confirmed by the additional data now in hand. The case was written up by Dr. Newman in concurrence with Dr. Gardner.—EDITOR.
