The author has systematized the hallucal dermatoglyphics in accordance with the pattern direction in whorl, longitudinal, transverse, and open-field patterns Neither sex difference nor any difference between the right/left foot could be demonstrated. A correlation with χ2-distribution mother/child gave for:

1. longitudinal/transverse pattern χ2=49.0;

2. longitudinal/whorl pattern χ2=12.3;

3. transverse/whorl pattern χ2=6.3.
