ale and 1 female. The other 2 are somewhat
eccentric, unsocial, and sexually frigid, 1 in a marked degree.
The curious point about this case is that A., the only one of the
family possessed of mental ability and social qualifications,
should be inverted. Parents' marriage was very ill-assorted and
inharmonious, the father being of great stature and the mother
abnormally small and of highly nervous temperament, both of
feeble health. Ancestry unfortunate, especially on mother's side.

2. B., male, invert, younger of 2 sons, no other children, has
extremely feminine disposition and appearance, of considerable
personal attraction, and has great musical talent. Penis very
small and marked breast-development.

3. C., male, invert, younger of 2 sons, no other children.
Interval of six years between first and second son. Parents'
marriage one of great affection, but degenerate ancestry on
mother's side. Cancer and scrofula in family.

4. D., male, invert, second child of 6; remainder girls. Of
humble social position. Considerable depravity evinced by all the
members of this family, with the exception of D., who alone
proved steady, honest, and industrious.

5. E., male, invert, second son of family of 3, the youngest
child being a girl, stillborn. Of extreme neurotic temperament
fostered by upbringing. Effeminate in build and disposition;
musically gifted.

6. F., male, invert, second child of family of 5. Eldest child a
girl, died in youth. After F. a boy G., a girl H., and another
girl stillborn. Parents badly matched; mother of considerable
mental and physical strength; father last representative of
moribund stock, the result of intermarriage. Children all
resembling father in appearance and mother in disposition.
Drink-tendency in both boys, to which F.'s death at the age of 30
was mainly due. G. committed suicide some years later. The girl
H. married into a family with worse ancestry than her own. Has
two children:--

7. I. and J., boy and girl, both inverted as far as I am able to
judge. The boy was born with some deformity of the feet and
ankles; is of effeminate tastes and appearance. Boy resembles
mother, and girl, who is of great physical development, resembles
father.
