Abstract
The typical feature of an achondroplastic or chondrodystrophic dwarf are well-known. They were first described by PARROT in 1876, and extensively studied by my compatriot Murk JANSEN in 1912. Most of the particular features, due to inadequate enchondral bone formation, are demonstrated by skeletons kept at the Anatomical Laboratory in Leiden and originally studied by Murk JANSEN. They illustrate the relatively large neurocranium, the saddle nose and the short extremities, the arms usually reaching not farther than the tronchanters. In most instances the fingers are equally long, showing a trident hand.
