Modifications of the Principal Palm Lines
Small hand diagrams and isolated line patterns form a numbered and lettered comparison. Changes in branching, direction and intersection distinguish the examples. The source heading identifies Modifications of the Principal Lines, Plate XVI. Cheiro uses the series to expand his historical palmistry system beyond the basic placement of the major lines.
