The terminations of the Main Line—C on the plams of 390 schizophrenic male patients were analysed and classified into four modal types according to the direction of their path following Plato's classification (1970). Schizophrenic patients classified into three major sub-categories namely Paranoid (256 palms) Hebephrenic (256 palms), Catatonic (202 palms) and Undifferentiated (66 palms), were taken from the same ethnic group from Yerawada Mental Hospital, Pune and Sassoon General Hospital, Pune (India). Comparisons were made with the respective normal caste control. The frequency of these four model types exhibit strong variations among themselves and between the patients belonging to the sub-categories of schizophrenia. Considerable increase has been observed on the Left Palm of the Paranoid and Catatonic patients for the incidence of Radial and Proximal types. The incidence of Ulnar type showed consistent decrease bilaterally, among all the sub-categories. Absent types showed a steep increase in all the sub-categories of Schizophrenic
