[Value of human lip lines and nail striations in identification]

The pattern of the lips and the longitudinal striation of the lower concave surface of the nails of fingers and toes can be resource of identification. The types of the lip lines are individual and probably constant for some years. We demonstrated that the pattern of all of 20 human nails are over the space of one year the same and found no interindividual correspondence. The investigation rate for examination amount to 36% for the nails of the fingers and 55% for suchlike toes.
