Abstract

Data from 200 male and 200 female South African Negroes’ finger and palm prints are presented. The subjects were apparently normal volunteers who belonged to the Zulu ethnic group. The frequency distributions of finger print pattern types, digital and total ridge counts, a–b scores and atd angles are given. The Zulus have a lower mean total ridge count than the other races of the Durban area; in males it is 129.87 and in females, 119.62.
