Inheritance of a Cheek-Mole

Abstract

PERHAPS the following case of the inheritance of a mole on the cheek for three generations may be interesting. Records do not go back any further, but, as the representative of the present generation is nineteen, it may be possible to see whether it is continued. The grandfather had a peculiar mole right in the middle of his left cheek. Of his children, two daughters both showed it in almost the same position. The sons did not, but one daughter of one son now has it. There are two boys and two girls in family, but it has appeared only on one girl.
