Occasionally 1t happens that boy

its members, but not in others.
The Magazine of Heredlty de-
scrbes one such case, in branch OF
an old New England family. The pa
ternal grandfather was web-footed
and bcqueathed his peculiar toes to
a son, who passed them along to three
of his six children.
If these people were to intermarry
for three or four generations with an
other web-footed family, all the chill
