Abstract In a sample from the Biscaian Basque population, we studied the incidence of pattern types in fingers and the parallelism between the frequencies for the orientations of whorls (Wr, Ws, Wu) and the other pattern types (Lr, A, Lu). We reaffirm the importance of clarifying pattern types according to their orientation, which is of general use in the case of loops but less easily applied to whorls.
