"Cousins" | 96.0 | 119.0 | 113.1
----------------------------------------------- Total | 103.6 | 127.0 | 121.2 ----------------------------------------------- [Footnote 20: Mulhall, op. cit., p. 383.] [Footnote 21: Ibid., p. 384.] In Italy during seven years ending in 1874, of all consanguineous marriages 92 per cent were of cousins and 8 per cent were of uncle and niece or aunt and nephew.[22] [Footnote 22: Ibid., p. 384.] Dally[23] is very skeptical about the accuracy of the French figures, but says that in Paris the records are well kept. He found that in the years 1853-62 there were 10,765 marriages in the _8me arrondissement_ of Paris, and of these he finds: ----------------------------------------- Marriages between cousins-german | 141 Marriages between uncle and niece | 8 Marriages between aunt and nephew | 1 Total consanguineous | 150 ----------------------------------------- [Footnote 23: "Recherches sur les Mariages Consanguins et sur les Races Pures." in _Bulletins de la Société d'Anthropologie_, 1863, p. 527.] |
