106   Life and Letters of Franeis Galton Distribution of the Peculiarity X in the Family of A.B.

fa = Father, or father's, according to its place ; similarly, me = Mother ; bro = Brother ; si = Sister; so (or son where more euphonious) = Son. The links in the chain of kinship are to be read as leading outwards from A.B. Thus, me da signifies "A.B.'s mother's daughter is." fa bro son means "A.B.'s father's brother's son is."
