The distribution of c-d and direct a-d intertriradial measurements has been investigated in the plantar dermatoglyphic surface of 100 males and 100 females from the Panjabi Brahman population.

The meam values of both c-d and measurements appear to be smaller in females and ow the rigt sides.

The ‘t’ test reveals that bilateral variation is statistically significant in the c-d measurements, both when the sides are combined or separate.

Sex differences too are statistically highly significant in the c-d and a-d measurements, both when the rights and lefts are studied individually or jointly.
