Abstract
OF the twenty-two valuable memoirs issued by the Francis Galton Laboratory for National Eugenics, eight form part of the “Treasury of Human Inheritance.” These Treasury memoirs deal exhaustively with inborn anomalies, disorders of growth or pathological conditions, all of which may pass from parent to offspring and therefore afford opportunities of studying the laws of heredity as they affect man. Former memoirs have been devoted to anomalies of the foot and hand, to cleft palate, hare-lip, deaf-mutism, imperfect differentiation of sex, hæmophilia, dwarfism and anomalies of the eye; the memoir under notice, the eighth of the Treasury series, deals with those disorders in the growth of bones known to medical men under the names of Diaphysial aclasis (multiple exostoses) and Cleido-cranial dysostosis.
