[photo] Their Son, K.C. Roy (Fig. 16) Annie L. W. (Fig. 15), with whom he was associated in shows. Three other of her fraternity were albinos and eight were pigmented. Their only child, born, like his mother, in Pennsylvania, was King Charles Roy (Fig. 16). The resemblance of the son to his mother is marked in the lower parts of the face; to his father in the upper part of the face. I may add that the albinism is practically complete in father and son; there is no nystagmus but rather marked photophobia, especially in the son. C. B.
