Investigations have shown that d.m.p. is a hereditary disease with overwhelming dominance for the facioscapulohumeral type. The scapulohumeral type seems to be sporadic. Owing to thc m a l l number of cases in this group the inheritance cannot be definitely established. The lower extremity types show an occurrance which are significantly less than the expected 25% of recessive inheritance, possibly due to decreased manifestation, or intermingling of acquisite cases. Further investigations of the eugenics of d. m. p . are not likely to be of value until methods are established by means of which non-hereditary cmes may be excluded.
