REPORT.
  Is the offspring of marriages of consanguinity equal  physically
and mentally to the  offspring of parents not connected by ties of
blood—both classes being supposed to be similarly circumstanced
in respect to all other causes affecting the integrity of their issue ?
  A question  of similar import to this has at times engaged popu-
lar attention probably for many ages, and yet no facts have hitherto
been collected of sufficient number and  authenticity to determine
its solution.  This neglect to accumulate statistical testimony as to
the results of family intermarriage could not have proceeded  from
paucity of material, since, not only do the  pages of history teem
with instances of such marriage, but they are  found in almost
every  social circle,  and  should  receive the  earnest scrutiny of
physiologists.   Surely, no questions can concern us more closely
than those which relate to the prevention of the numerous con-
genital abnormities  of  our species, among the  causes of which,
intermarriage  of members of the same  family blood may appear
not the least important.
  Passing allusions to the evil consequences of marriages of con-
sanguinity may be found in a number of authors, but  the subject
has not been made a point of special inquiry, so far as I have been
able to learn, except by Eev. Charles  Brooks  in  a lecture before
the American  Association for  Advancement  of Science in  1855;
by two French writers, Rilliet and Meniere in 1856,  and by the
present reporter in 1857.
  To Dr. John Bartlett, of Keokuk, belongs the credit of having
projected the first effort to set the question at rest by accumulating
a sufficient number  of  facts to furnish  positive testimony either
corroborating or refuting  the popular idea of deterioration of off-
spring from such marriages.  A loss  of  health compelled him to

 abandon, for a time at least, his intentions, and he has  generously
 placed his material in my hands for the benefit of the Association
 and profession at large.
   Dr.  H. P. Strong, of Beloit, Wisconsin, had also collected ac-
 counts of instances of family intermarriage for the  purpose of
 deducing and publishing observations upon the subject.  But so
 soon as he heard of the appointment of a committee by the  Ame-
 rican Medical Association to collect facts in regard to marriages of
 consanguinity, he placed his  many carefully detailed cases  at  the
 disposal of  the Association  through  their  committee.  Such in-
 stances of generous sacrifice of labor and  purpose as the two fore-
 going demand our highest appreciation.
   It was the design of the reporter to collect not only a sufficient
 number of observations of marriages  of  consanguinity to enable
 us to declare positively in regard to their own essential results, but
 also to collect a  sufficient number of observations  of marriage
 where  no  such influence obtains,  to  constitute  an authoritative
 standard, so  that by comparing the results of the two classes we
 might establish beyond controversy the affirmative  or negative of
 the question premising this report.
   With regard to the  first class, or marriages of  consanguinity,
 my success in collecting facts has  been beyond my expectation;
.my tables will exhibit results of near nine  hundred such marriages,
 a sufficient number to warrant the belief that any additions thereto,
 if procured  in the same manner, would not materially affect the
 ultimate result.   Of marriages of  the second  class, or between
 parties neither themselves  related  nor the descendants of blood
 relations, I regret to say that  my exertions to collect observations
 have  not been so successful.   My tables comprise only one hun-
 dred  and twenty-five observations  of  this character, which, how-
 ever correct they may be in selection and statement, are not ample
 enough in number to justify me in  offering  them as  the average
 results  of marriage where no  influence of consanguinity prevails.
 And unfortunately, there are no researches, so far as I  have  been
 able to learn, which establish the average fecundity and vital sta-
 tistics of marriage in the United States.
   The  original  statistics which  appear in my report,  have  been
 furnished exclusively by reputable physicians in the various States
 to which they are credited.   The respectable sources from whence
 they are derived should stamp them as  high authority, and  I bear
 cheerful testimony to their accuracy and reliability, feeling satisfied

that all future investigations in  this field  will bring  additional
evidence  that  they are  faithful  records of truths.   But while
indorsing the  truthfulness of  these  statistics, it  is  my duty to
state, that those which relate to  marriages of consanguinity, should
probably  not  be received as a completely true representation of
the results of such marriages;  some modification of the mean of
results  might occur if the statistics of all  instances of in-and-in
marrying, in the Union, for  example, could  be comprised in one
report.   It  is natural  for contributors  to overlook many of the
more fortunate  results of family intermarriage, and  furnish those
followed by defective offspring or sterility.   The mere existence of
either of  these conditions would prompt  inquiry, while  the favor-
able cases might  pass unnoticed.  Contributors have been particu-
larly requested to furnish, without prejudice or selection, all instances
of marriages of consanguinity within their  various  circles of ob-
servation, whatever their results.  I have reason to believe that in
every instance they have complied with  this request so far  as it
was practicable to do so.  Consequently,  I have no further cause
for supposing that  the mean of defects would be lessened, were it
possible to  include every case of  marriage of kindred existing in
the  population which affords those on  my  tables, than  the  mere
inference that some cases with favorable  results may have passed
unnoticed.
   Eight  hundred and  seventy-three observations of marriages of
consanguinity of various degrees of relationship are arranged  upon
the tables.  They were furnished  from the following States:—
Maine			12	Georgia
New Hampshire			44	Alabama
Vermont .			9	Mississippi
Massachusetts			87	Arkansas
Connecticut			35	Tennessee
New York ,			57	Kentucky
Pennsylvania			34	Missouri

  That these observations might be  more readily studied,  they
have been arranged upon the tables, in classes corresponding with
their estimated grades of relationship,  as follows:—

REPORT ON
                                                        Number of
  Classes.                 Degree of relationship.                 observations.
    A. Instances of marriage or incestuous intercourse between bro-
         ther and sister, or parent and child.....10
    B. Instances of marriage or incestuous intercourse between uncle
         and niece, or aunt and nephew......12
    C. Marriage between blood relations who are themselves the de-
         scendants of blood relations......61
    D. Marriage between double first cousins.....27
    E. Marriage between first cousins......600

    G. Marriage between third cousins......13
    H. Marriage irregularly reported, all first cousins    ...   30
           Total..........873
  The tables  throughout  the various classes corresponding to the
degrees of relationship, are constructed in the same manner ; first,
there is a statement  of temperament,  health, and  other circum-
stances relating to the parents and date of marriage; then the num-
ber, sex, and condition of children, the number dead,  and causes of
death.  In a majority of instances, some important item of infor-
mation is wanting to  render the recital of the case  complete, yet
very  few are so imperfect in detail as to be devoid of  interest.
  In  compiling these cases from the numerous letters which brought
me the facts, I have as nearly as possible preserved  the  language
of the contributor.  The descriptions  of  temperament have been
copied verbatim, except in three instances, in all of  which the re-
porter supposed the meaning of the contributors would be better
apprehended by the employment of other language.
  In  some cases, I have from the tenor of the letters, supplied  cer-
tain points of unstated information.   For example, it  has occurred
that no statement was made of the health or habits of parents, but
some  circumstance detailed in the latter has authorized the reporter
to describe them, inferentially, as either "good" or "bad," and they
have  been so entered upon the tables.   These instances have been
very rare, but it has more often happened that the date of marriage
was not  mentioned, and in such cases, when any given facts in
regard to the  age of children, or any  other circumstance, led  the
reporter to infer that those marriages had occurred sufficiently long
for  the period of reproduction to have transpired, the dates have
been denoted  by the figures 1835, preceded  by a dash.  This rule
has been adopted, because I have arbitrarily fixed twenty-two years
as the extreme average length of time married women continue to
produce in this country; consequently, all marriages set down upon 
MARRIAGES OF  CONSANGUINITY.
9
these tables as having occurred before 1835, are supposed to be
complete in their results, so far as it regards reproduction.
  It is not impossible that some slight errors may have been com-
mitted by the reporter in respect to these two interpolations, but
they are believed to be so trivial, even if they exist, as to exert no
influence over the result;  and I  would not suppose it important to
speak of these alterations except as an act of justice from myself to
those who have been my co-laborers.
  The attention of contributors  has been especially solicited to the
temperament and constitutional  idiosyncrasies of parents.  I have
not, however, attempted to deduce  any  conclusions from the infor-
mation supplied in regard to temperament.  The mere fact that the
term itself has a meaning so unfixed and so differently understood,
that physicians would have different ideas of its application to the
same individual, forms a difficulty at  the very  threshold of any
effort to establish practical laws in regard to the influence which
particular conjunctions of parental temperament might exert upon
offspring.
  In regard to constitutional predisposition  and  peculiarities  of
parents, the tables present some interesting facts.  It will be per-
ceived that parental infirmities are entailed with  great  certainty
upon the offspring, and this, in the opinion of the reporter, con-
stitutes the  strongest argument  against the intermarriage of rela-
tives;  the fact that family peculiarities, tendencies,  and  infirmities,
either of mind or body, which may be so slight on the part of the
parents as to remain latent, become so exaggerated by this " inten-
sifying" of the same blood, that they are in  the child prominent
and ruinous defects.  In this manner  I  account for the fact that
so  many of the offspring of kindred parents, who seem in  other
respects to  be well endowed, possess  characters so angular and
peculiar as to unfit them for the ordinary avocations of life.
  In analyzing the defects of offspring, I have assigned a column
to each of the  four  classes of infirmities which are so common  in
this country as to demand the  construction of numerous institu-
tions for  their alleviation, viz:  deaf-dumbness,  blindness, idiocy
and insanity; to  these I have  added a column for epilepsy and
one for scrofula.   It was my  intention to insert a column  for
the deformed, but as a question arose  in  my mind as to whether
certain personal  peculiarities, such as  different colored  irises,  or
strabismus,  or  slight deviations from physical symmetry, should
properly be classed  under this  caption, I determined to omit this 
10
REPORT ON
column, and to notice these defects under the head of "Condition of
Offspring."  Consequently, the deformed are in most instances ex-
cluded from enumeration under the head of  "defective."  Another
observation  will show that the numbers in the column marked
" defective" under-estimate the sum of defects occurring to the off-
spring of the marriages of consanguinity upon these tables, that is
this, in very many instances, where children have died young, their
defects have escaped  the attention of contributors, and  often, per-
haps,  that of the parents likewise.   This remark would hold  espe-
cially true of congenital deaf-muteism and idiocy, either of which
may exist unsuspected in very early infancy.  It is not only a
natural inference that many deaf and dumb, and idiotic children of
the marriages upon these  tables, have died without being reported
as laboring under these defects, but the  supposition finds complete
corroboration  in the fact  that in classes B  and D, in both which
the percentage of early deaths is  largely over that of  any other
classes, the percentage of defects is less  than we are prepared to
expect, and  the reduction of mean of defects occurs precisely in
the columns assigned to deaf-dumbness and idiocy, but more strik-
ingly  in the latter.
  It has been a source of regret  to me that  these  tables are so
voluminous  as to require so much space of the  published trans-
actions, but  every case has been condensed  as much as  was com-
patible with its intelligible presentation.   And to have omitted all
detail of individual cases would  have diminished the value of the
report, since other statisticians and  physiologists might desire to
study these  facts in relations different from those presented by the
reporter.  Another inconvenience attending the  great compass of
these  tables, is that it will prevent their general diffusion through
those  circles where it is more important to awaken investigation
and impart knowledge in reference to this subject.   In some part,
to obviate this difficulty, I have prepared a table of "Aggregates,"
which is an  exhibit of the results of the marriages comprised on
the large tables.   The reader will  find  upon this table  the whole
number and sex of children, with  the sum and percentage of each
defect, running through all the classes formed by the various grades
of relationship.
  I have  also prepared two tables of comparative  results, which,
considered in  connection  with the table of aggregates, present a
condensed exposition of the questions involved in my report.  The
first of these tables is composed of observations  of the results of 
MARRIAGES OF CONSANGUINITY.            11
marriage where no influence of consanguinity prevails.  The iso-
lated observations  upon  this table are brothers and sisters of par-
ties who have married their kindred, and whose cases are detailed
among the consanguinity statistics, and are referred to in this table.
The observations occurring in groups of from ten to twenty, have
been furnished  by highly  respectable physicians in the  various
States to which  they are  credited.  The correspondents who fur-
nished these cases selected them  as fair examples of the average
results  of marriage,  under  similar circumstances, in their various
communities.  They were chosen without any other restriction or
requisition than that the husband and wife should neither them-
selves be  related,  nor have been the immediate descendants of
kindred parents, and  that the females should have ceased to  ovu-
late, so that we might know that the results were complete as it
regards fecundity.
   The second table is made up in part from a report to the Secre-
tary of State of Ohio, under an  enactment of their legislature re-
quiring a census of the  deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic, and insane
inhabitants of that State, and the number of each of those classes
who were the offspring of marriages between blood relations.  This
latter clause of the enactment was totally neglected in many coun-
ties, and in others it seems to  have been illy executed, yet this
report contains a large amount of information valuable to my pur-
pose, exhibiting as correlative statistics a remarkable correspond-
ence with the facts furnished in  my collection  of cases.   To illus-
trate more perfectly the coincidence between the statistics  from
these two sources, I have divided the observations of marriages of
consanguinity furnished  by the Ohio  report  into classes, corre-
sponding  as nearly as possible with the classification on my own
tables; thus—
                                                         Number of
   Classes.                  Degree of relationship.                observations.
    A. Marriage or illicit intercourse between brother and sister, or
          parent and child........
    B. Marriage between uncle and niece......1
C & D. C and D were not noted in their schedules.
    E. Marriage between first cousins.......47
    F. Marriage between second cousins......28
    . G. Marriage between third cousins......4
    H. Irregular cases, or marriage between cousins, without specifica-
          tion as to degree........72
            Total..........155
   Next, this table comprises the results of two hundred marriages 
12
REPORT ON
from the Ohio report, between the parties to which no ties of con-
sanguinity were supposed to exist, yet each of which had given
birth to deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic, or insane issue.  These were
taken—the first hundred from the commencing pages,  and the last
hundred from the concluding pages  of the report, without  other
selection than  that the parents should be reported as not related
(and from those counties which had returned marriages of cousins),
and that the defects of offspring should be congenital.   The parties
to these marriages were undoubtedly the subjects of some influences
tending to the depravation  of their issue, and yet a reference to
the tables will show that the percentage of defects to their offspring
is not so great as  among the children  of the consanguinity mar-
riages.  Lastly, the sum of results of marriage upon the first table
of comparative results, is brought to this second table, and the per-
centage of defects and deaths carefully computed.
   With a view to  ascertain  the character and degree  of influence
exerted upon the vital statistics of marriage by the great diversity
of climate of  the United States, I have arranged the observations
comprised in  the three most  comprehensive letters, representing
classes of consanguinity marriages, viz., C, B, and F, in " climatic
divisions," or  belts,  bounded  by  the degrees of latitude between
which they were obtained.   Thus all observations, in each of these
classes from between the 32d  and 36th degrees of  latitude are em-
braced in the  first division, under the  caption of  " South;"  those
obtained from the  36th to the 40th parallel, constitute the second,
or " Middle" division; those from  the  40th  to  44th parallels, the
third  and "North" division.   This  table would have been of some
practical utility, could I have been successful in obtaining a suffi-
cient number  of observations of vital statistics of  marriage, where
no kinship existed, to have admitted of a similar division and com-
parison of results;  now, however, it has nothing to recommend it,
except that  it  has been prepared with much labor,  and is free from
errors.
   The mortuary statistics of the  offspring of marriages of consan-
guinity, and of the offspring of marriage between non-related parties,
are interesting subjects of comparison.  I am compelled, from lack
of time and space, to refer those who seek for precision in regard
to the causes  of death among the  children of kindred parents, to
the large tables; here I can only give an abstract containing all
the causes of death, so far as known, among  the  children of non- 
MARRIAGES OF CONSANGUINITY.

related parents, and  some of the chief causes of mortality to the
offspring of marriages of  consanguinity.
   Of the former, one hundred and thirty-four died young;  sixty-
nine of this number have the causes of death assigned—the remain-
der unknown.   Eight hundred and eighty-three of the children of
consanguinity marriages died young;  the cause of death is given
in four  hundred and eighty-six of this number—the  remainder
unknown.

are the descendants of blood intermarriages.  This  effort has not
been successful, from the difficulty principals of such institutions
       2 
14
REPORT ON
find in gaining the  requisite facts.  Parents are frequently sensi-
tive on this point; and it is  a delicate matter for  principals to
attempt investigations which the friends of the beneficiaries sup-
posed to be unauthorized by the regulations of their various insti-
tutions.
  I feel satisfied, however, that my researches  give me authority
to assume that over ten per cent, of the deaf and dumb, and over
five per cent, of the blind, and  near fifteen per cent,  of the idiotic,
in our State institutions for subjects of those defects, and through-
out the country at  large, are the offspring of kindred parents, or
of parents themselves the descendants of blood intermarriage.
   The principal of  an institution for deaf-mutes communicates the
following  statement:—
   " Of one hundred and eighty-three cases of congenital deaf-dumb-
ness,  twenty-eight were known  to  be the  offspring  of  blood rela-
tions.  My inquiries  have not  extended to more than half of the
hundred and  eighty-three.  My impression is  that  of those born
deaf  and dumb, at least one-fourth are the  children of cousins.   It
is very difficult, as you  are  aware,  to get  reliable information on
this subject.   *  *  *  One man in this State  denied that he had
married a blood relation; I  have since learned that he and his wife
are first cousins, and have  six children, three of whom are deaf
and dumb."
   The principal of another deaf and  dumb asylum—a  close ob-
 server, and one who has long occupied the position—writes as fol-
 lows : " Since I wrote to you, a day or so ago, I have remembered
 that  we recently received four sisters, the  children of parents who
 were own cousins.   They were all  the children they had, I believe.
 The  further I extend my inquiries, the greater the number of deaf
 mutes I  find  who are the  children of near relatives; I  have  no
 doubt that at least ten  per cent, are the offspring  of persons so re-
 lated."
   From  another institution for deaf mutes, the following tabular
 statement was received:—
Whole number of pupils.		|	o <5 o m	> a a a c o	o '■3	Known to be offspring of kindred parents.	o	Doubtful as to relutionsliip of parents.

MARRIAGES OF CONSANGUINITY.            15
  This estimate shows over fifteen per cent, of the whole number
of pupils to have been offspring of consanguinity marriages.
  With regard to the frequency of idiocy as a result of intermar-
riage of relatives, and the probable proportion of those laboring
under this  defect who are descendants of such unions, I have re-
ceived the  following statement from a highly respectable physician
of Connecticut:—
   " Two years ago circulars were issued to every physician in Con-
necticut, to clergymen, to  town-clerks, and to the first selectman
of every town in the State, containing minute questions relative to
the probable causes of the cases of idiocy  reported.  The question,
Whether consanguinity was a cause or not, was answered in 160
cases, and  assigned as a cause in 20 of  them.   An adequate cause
of idiocy was reported in  310 cases, but  the  question concerning
consanguinity was  answered in only 160  cases.  Taking it  for
granted that every instance of relationship of parents, in  the 310
cases, was  reported, we find that consanguinity of parentage is  a
cause of -^th of the idiocy in Connecticut.  If we follow  the idea
that no attention whatever was paid to the question, except in the
160 cases,  then we find it a cause of |th—taking the mean, it is
the cause of T3gths of all the idiocy in the State."
   In addition to these facts, and others  which I  have gained by
correspondence with gentlemen who have given close attention to
these points, the  following perfectly legitimate process of compu-
tation confirms  me in the opinion that the previously announced
estimates  are  very  nearly correct.  The  classes C, D, E, F, Gr., of
the consanguinity tables, comprise 787 marriages of  cousins, 246
of which have given issue to deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic, or in-
sane children.
   Admitting the same ratio to prevail, the Ohio report, which con-
tains 151 marriages of cousins, followed  by deaf and dumb, blind,
idiotic, or insane offspring, would indicate  the existence of 332 other
marriages  of cousins in the same population, not followed  by such
defects. The counties which furnish this 151 marriages, as above, and
which are  supposed to comprise in their limits 332 unreported mar-
riages, making a total of 483, contained in 1850  a population of
1,528,238.   If the same ratio be supposed to exist throughout the
Union, there would be found  to  the twenty millions  of white in
habitants,  six thousand three hundred and twenty-one  marriages of
cousins, giving birth to 3,909  deaf and  dumb, blind, idiotic,  and
insane children,  distributed as follows:—

         Deaf and dumb.......1.116
         Blind.........648
         Idiotic.........1,854
         Insane .........     299
  Then, if the figures of the last United States Census still applied
to our population, there would now be found in the Union:—
   9,136 deaf and dumb, of whom, 1,116, or 12.8 per cent., are children of cousins.
   7,978 blind, of whom 648, or 8.1 per cent., are children of cousins.
  14,257 idiotic, of whom 1,844, or 12.93 per cent., are children of cousins.
  14,972 insane, of whom 299, or 1.9 per cent., are children of cousins.1
  I invite the attention of gentlemen of this Association to this cal-
culation of probabilities either to confute or confirm it by any facts
in their possession.
  A very cursory examination of the tables of my report will suffice
to show that pari-passu with  the  increment of the same blood the
sum of defects of offspring is  likewise increased.  Classes D and G
present exceptions to this rule.   As it regards D, the  supposed
reason for this deviation has  been already stated, namely:  that its
mortality list is  so  large; while class G presents so few  observa-
tions as to satisfy us  that  they attracted  notice  solely because  of
their unfavorable results.
  But  notwithstanding these  two  exceptions,  the  increase  and
diminution of calamities to offspring correspond so closely with
the increase and  decrease of  relationship, as  to  fix  the conviction
firmly in the mind of the reporter, that multiplication of the same
blood by in-and-in marrying  does incontestably lead in the aggre-
gate to the physical and mental depravation of the offspring.  And
if wre admit the above statement, which the observations here pre-
sented abundantly prove—that defects of offspring multiply precisely
as we multiply the same blood—and to this admission join the fact
that all those contingent circumstances of parental health, habits,
proclivities of constitution, sexual incongruity, &c, are as liable to
affect one class as another,  we cannot rationally assign these effects
to any other influence than that of consanguinity.
   I  am constrained to express my  sincere regret that this report
must be offered in a crude, unfinished state.  The study of this in-
teresting subject is, if thoroughly investigated, an elaborate science,

  1 The  reader will perceive that  since these estimates were made, some cases
have been added to the consanguinity tables ; also, that in the computations small
fractions have been occasionally left off, or slightly altered when appearing in the
quotient.

and  the reporter  labored under  erroneous impressions when he
supposed that  the important facts bearing upon it  could  be col-
lected, arranged, and properly elucidated in the short period of a
year.  I cannot prosecute  these  researches any further,  having
already devoted more time  to them than  it was proper to  spare
from the more  practical and  important branches of the profession.
It was impossible to incorporate more than a mere tithe of the large
amount of interesting and valuable information in my possession;
the remainder I will carefully preserve, and hold subject to the call
(under certain limitations) of any physiologist1 whose tastes, attain-
ments and leisure, qualify him for the task  of completely elaborat-
ing the subject.
  The thanks of the Association are eminently due to those physi-
cians whose love  of science  induced them to  assume the disagree-
able office of eliciting  and supplying the information comprised in
these tables.  Their contributions were furnished under a  pledge
that no individualization of  contributors was to enter my report;
consequently, no other motive could have actuated  them than an
earnest interest in science, and in all questions  touching the well-
being  of their species.  Personally, I  offer them my grateful ac-
knowledgments for their  co-operation.   I trust  they  will  concur
with me in the opinion  that the chief  merit of my report  is, that
the  facts they  have furnished me  have been fairly  and honestly
transferred to its pages.

 Whether the parties to this marriage
 were first, second, or third cousins
 is not stated, but their ancestors are
 reported to  have intermarried for
 two preceding generations.
The parties to this marriage are second
 cousins, their parents were second
 cousins, their grandparents first cou

 grandparents also first cousins ; thus
 constituting five consecutive genera-

 marriage.

 tricate entanglement, suppose that A

CONDITION OF CHILDREN,
    REMARKS, ETC.
Both were congenitally deformed
 and complete idiots.
The two enumerated as defective
 are nyctalopic, seeing  objects
 with much more facility and
 ease during twilight than during
 a bright day;  they have also a
 peculiar twinkling or dancing
 motion of the eye during a strong
 light.   There  are no complete
 idiots in the family, but all are
 in a state of  mental  weakness
 bordering upon that condition.
Remarkable for both mental and
 bodily  vigor.
The female would be regarded as
 half-witted, married and died at
 18 in her first labor.
Survivors of strikingly feeble in-
 tellect and fragile constitutions.
The two survivors have scrofu-
 lous diathesis strongly marked.
Survivors very feeble  in  mind
 and body.
Constitutions are extremely fee-
 ble; the males are effeminate in
 appearance, two have congenital
 defects of the eyes ; the minds
 of all are below mediocrity, and
 one is but a degree removed from
 idiocy;  all are remarkably un-
 prepossessing in  personal  ap-
 pearance.
Survivors have scrofulous oph-
 thalmia, and evince both mental
 and physical deterioration.

All seem to be at  least not infe-
 rior to their father, but are still
 too  young to determine any
 question regarding  mental en-
 dowments.
The children were small and fee-
 ble at birth, and all died during
 the first year.

Sterile.
The blind children had congenital
 cataract (two males and the three
 females); two other males were
 twins and  died at two months ;
 one other male died at two weeks.
 It is not known whether these
 children who died so young had
 cataract or not.  The male who
 died at 16 grew  to  that  age
 healthy and  with normal eyes,
 One  male, now an adult,  has
 good eyes, and is  healthy  and
 bright.  Two males and two fe-
 males  are  now blind  adults.
 One male has had one eye ope-
 rated upon three times without
 more than a slight improvement
 of vision. The cataract feels and
 looks like a small piece of buck-
 skin, and was  with great diffi-
 culty cut  or torn; some rents
 were, however, made in it, but
 it had no effect in procuring its
 solution.   They have all some
 vision, but very imperfect, the
 light apparently finding its way
 in on the sides of the  eyes as
 they turn their heads obliquely
 to an object which they wish to
 examine.  Their eyes are very
 unsteady,  having a  continual
 vibrating or  oscillating motion.
An acephalous monstrosity.   No
 other child to this date.
Still young, sex and condition not
 known.

Lived  together  several  years
 without issue.

The two defective were cripples
 as well as idiotic; although they
 died at the ages of 4 and 6, they
 were never able to sit alone, the
 survivors bid fair to become per-
 sons of average mental and phy-
 sical  capabilities.

CONDITION OF CHILDREN,
    REMARKS, ETC.
The survivors are all good look-
 ing and healthy; four  of them
 are near-sighted ;  all are mar-
 ried, and to parties not  previ
 ously allied to them.  All these
 marriages have proved barren,
 except that  of one female, who
 has  had  two  husbands, and
 borne one daughter, whether by
 first or second husband not re
 ported.
Survivors all healthy, and very
 sensible; two daughters and one
 son are albinos and near-sight-
 ed.
This child is now in her twelfth
 year, is healthy and very much
 like her mother.
The mother aborted once.
These were the first instances of
 idiocy and muteism  known in
 the  history of the family.  In
 addition to these  births, there
 were three abortions.

These children probably died of
 tubercular meningitis.  Mother
 aborted once.

The four mutes were also idiots
 and  blind.   Mother  aborted

CONDITION OF CHILDREN,
    REMARKS, ETC.
One, a female, is both blind and
 idiotic, and has also cleft palate
 and hare-lip.  The blindness is
 due, in every  instance, to con
 genital cataract.
Six of the seven survivors have
 good health and ordinary intel
 lectual capacities.
Five  had  club-foot;  one  idiot
 lived to 14th year;  the others
 died before 5th year, except one
 daughter  who  arrived  at  pu-
 berty, married, and died in her
 first labor.
These children  have only me
 dium physical or intellectual
 development.
The survivors are of small phy
 sical proportions; intellect nor
 mal.
The deaths occurred from infancy
 to 24; two of scarlatina, others
 unknown.  The survivors ex-
 hibit weakness  of intellect, but
 not reaching idiocy.
All small, feeble, and nervous.
The five blind and idiots have a
 leprous disease of the skin ; the
 eyes present a nebulous appear-
 ance ;  the  oldest had, as was
 supposed, rheumatism in infan
 cy, which has made him a crip
 pie ever since ;  but three of the
 survivors have good health.
All were children by a second
 marriage; first marriage, no de-
 fects in offspring.
Normal.

One blind in one eye  congenital-
 ly; two dwarfs ; intellect bright.
Congenital umbilical hernia.

Both  are well  endowed physi-
 cally and mentally.
All are of feeble  health.

CAUSE OF DEATH.
CONDITION OF CHILDREN,
    REMARKS,  ETC.
All living from 35 to 50 years of
 age; one is deaf, and speaks like
 a young child;  one  is  badly
 asthmatic ; others normal. They
 have married into healthy fami
 lies not related,  yet several of
 their  children   have  died  of
 phthisis, others  manifest that
 tendency.
Sterile.

The first was imperfectly deve
 loped, the second (222) is afflicted
 with ulcerations  probably scro
 fulous.
                 The eyes are faulty in configura-
                  tion.
'Defective navel.'\Survivor intelligent and healthy,
These  children  should not  be
 termed idiots, but lack intelli
 gence.
One has a peculiar formation of
 the ear, otherwise there are no
 physical defects; in intellect they
 are as children of No. 225.
Never had any living children,
 but miscarried  three or four
 times at seventh month.
Exhibit evidences of  inferiority
 to their parents;  intellect ordi-
 nary.
All arrived  at  puberty  before
 death; survivors normal.
Consumption 3.
Acute diseases 2.
Killed 1.
Unknown.
Stillborn.

Stillborn.
No children, two miscarriages at
 seventh month;  soon after the
 last of which  the mother died
 of fever.
The oldest was strabismic, other-
 wise they  are perfectly deve-
 loped mentally and physically
The  child  is  also  apparently
 idiotic; but the contributor does
 not confidently  impute this to
 influence of consanguinity, as
 the mother is  also of feeble in
 tellect.
All living, no defects.

All the survivors are in rather ill
 health; those who died, died for
 the most part before maturity.
Nothing unusual about  survi-
 vors.
Survivor is fifteen, sprightly and
 healthy.
Both sprightly intellectually, but
 have enlargements  of cervical
 glands, and other indications of
 scrofula.
Survivors  normal.
