The analysis includes both qualitative and quantitative characters.  Of basic finger pattern type loops (57.11%) were common followed by whorls (27.89%) and arches (15.00%) in the general population with significant sex difference and insignificant bilateral difference. Henry's plain arches are twenty two times higher than tented arches; ulnar loops are seventeen times higher than radial loops and true whorls are nine times larger than composites in the general population. The symmetry of patterns (including arches, loops and whorls) is 76.67% in either sex of the population. The left hand (32.78%) is more monomorphic than the right hand (31.11%) in either sex. Pattern intensity index, Dankmeijer's index, Furuhata's index, Poll's index values were found to be 11,29,53.94, 48.86 and 26.43 respectively in the general population and a slight variation was observed in the sexes. - Reproduced.  aScheduled Castes  aCaste - India - Karnataka  aCaste  aReddy, K.
