Abstract
THE laws of inheritance of blood groups and types are now so well established that in certain cases paternity can be definitely excluded. Dr. Eskelund believes that the various patterns of iris found in man could also be classified on an hereditary basis, and eventually perhaps provide equally good or even better evidence of paternity.
