Abstract
Palmar prints of 528 individuals (336 males and 192 females) have been studied for intertriradial intervals a–b, b–c, c–d and a–d to investigate the differences between the main groups among the Newars of Nepal, viz. Shrestha, Gubhaju and Jyapu. The mean values for the ridge-counts of all the 4 areas have been observed to be highest in Jyapu males and low in Gubhaju males. The intergroup differences were, however, statistically non-significant.Keywords
