Public Health Service, located at the Southside Health District, Farmville, Virginia. Dr. Quisenberry was familiar with my studies of twins and thought I might be interested in an unusual pair of twins that had come under his observation. He therefore gave me a brief account of the case and asked whether I knew of any similar case having been reported in medical literature. He himself, he said, was writing up the case for a medical journal. I replied that, so far as I knew, the case was unique, was highly significant in several respects from a genetical standpoint, and that it deserved to be discussed and published in The Journal of Heredity. Dr. Quisenberry welcomed this suggestion and commissioned me to prepare a paper on the case and send it in to the Journal. He also sent me a full report on the twins and subsequently, at my request, investigated their family pedigree. The publication of this paper has been approved by the Surgeon General of the U. S. Public Health Service. H. H. N. © Oxford University Press
