When to this is added the clrcametance that in many cascs Lhese defects nro found in poreons where thelr cxlstence wan entirely unsuspected it increases the already complicaled natare of the ingniry, rince there defects are lable at any time to form an element {9 unexpected situntions ar- fording such a banis for Incorrect jndement ns to demand the inost intellizent and’ systematic lu- vestigation to obtain m full nnderatanding of what should be justly attributed to them.
