    three exceptions are figures 53 and 54, from Dr. R. Jones's paper in The Lancet, March ist, 1902, and figure 55 from Dr. M. Treves' paper in the Journal of Mental Patholog}^ January, 1902. In the brief account of the Physiognomy of Degeneracy, the definitions and descriptions given by Dr. F. Peterson, generally speaking, have been followed, with certain modifications. For fuller information on degeneracy the writings of Drs. Talbot and Peterson should be consulted. The sketch given in Chapter XII. will perhaps suffice to explain the allusions in the previous chapters on physiognomical diagnosis and prognosis, and to aid in advising as to the prophylaxis—so far as concerns education, mode of life, occupation, marriage, etc. — of the psychoses and great neuroses.
