[18] Dr. P. Lucas, ‘Héréd. Nat.,’ tom. ii. pp. 314, 892: see a good practical article on the subject in ‘Gard. Chronicle,’ 1856, p. 620. I could add a vast number of references, but they would be superfluous.
[19] Kölreuter gives curious cases in his ‘Dritte Fortsetzung,’ 1766, ss. 53, 59; and in his well-known ‘Memoirs on Lavatera and Jalapa.’ Gärtner, ‘Bastarderzeugung,’ ss. 437, 441, etc. Naudin in his “Recherches sur l’Hybridité,” ‘Nouvelles Archives du Muséum,’ tom. i. p. 25.
[20] Quoted by Mr. Sedgwick in ‘Med.-Chirurg. Review,’ April, 1861, p. 485. Dr. H. Dobell in ‘Med.-Chirurg. Transactions,’ vol. xlvi., gives an analogous case in which, in a large family, fingers with thickened joints were transmitted to several members during five generations; but when the blemish once disappeared it never reappeared.
