Reaumur was one of the first to prove this, as shown by the Kelleia family of Malta, and there have been many corroboratory instances reported; it is shown to last for three, four, and even five generations; intermarriage with normal persons finally eradicates it. It is particularly in places where consanguineous marriages are prevalent that supernumerary digits persist in a family.

These were the leading features of an accusation, which, however improbable while thus briefly and boldly narrated, hung together with a wonderful coherence in the speech of the lawyer, supported as they were by the number of small circumstances corroboratory of certain immaterial portions of the story.
"Steuart answers that he's of General Ewell's Division. Must take his orders from General Ewell." "West Point notions! Good Lord!"
