Letter from L J F Brimble, Editor of Nature, thanking Penrose for his manuscript "Finger-prints, palms and chromosomes", but returning some figures for correction. Encloses correlation coefficients for finger-ridge counts, magnified prints of fingertip patterns, a diagram of dermatoglyphs in Turner's syndrome labelled "inaccurate", a set of prints of dermatoglyphs for use in the paper with corrected labelling, an abstract for a paper titled "The Dermal Patterns of the New Autosomal Trisomy Syndromes", and an unlabelled scatter graph, possibly showing measurements of patterns on fingertips.
