        were present.

            c.  Exhibit E-4 contained an unidentified hair and was erroneously listed

          ADDENDUM TO
          LABORATORY REPORT                                     UNIT CASE NUMBER
          NUMBER  P-FA-D-C-FP-82-70                              MPR 1277-70



              e.  Exhibit E-15 contained three (3) hairs grossly similar in all
          physical characteristics to the head hair of Kristen MacDonald.  The
          roots were shrunken and dehydrated, indicating they were lost through
          normal attrition.

              f.  Exhibit E-22 contained one animal hair and one human head
          hair grossly similar to the head hair of Collette MacDonald.  The root
          of the hair was shrunken and dehydrated, indicating that it was lost
          through normal attrition.

              g.  Exhibit E-117 contained two (2) animal hairs.

              h.  Exhibit E-124 contained one (1) animal hair and several fibers
          from the purple green and pink quilt in the south bedroom.  No blood
          stains were present.

              i.  Exhibit E-129 contained several small pieces of dry vegetable
          matter similar to grass or hay.  No bloodstains were present

              j.  Exhibit E-206 contained one (1) animal hair and several blue,
          green and yellow single strand nylon fibers grossly similar to the fibers
          of the rug, Exhibit D-227.

              k.  Exhibit E-211 contained several pink nylon fibers and one (1)
          animal hair.

              l.  Exhibit E-51 MBR contained multi-colored yarns similar to the
          type used in crocheting.  No bloodstains were present.

              m.  Exhibit E-59NB contained several small pieces of dry vegetable
          matter, similar to grass or hay and one (1) animal hair.

              n.  Examination of Exhibits F-60 and F-115 showed same to be a small
          amount of hard yellow and white substance.  No chemical tests were con-
          ducted on this substance.

          2.  The term, "red crusts", of Exhibit D-256 referred to suspected dried
          blood.  These were not analyzed for anything other than blood type as in-
          dicated in paragraph 10 of Preliminary Report.

          3.  The gloves of Exhibits D-33K and D-34K are not surgical gloves, there-
          fore not identifiable with the suspected pieces of surgical gloves of
          Exhibits I-3, I-21, I-213 and I-226.

       ADDENDUM TO

       NUMBER  P-FA-D-C-FP-82-70                                MPR 1277-70


       4.  The gloves of Exhibit D-245 and surgical gloves.  These were received
       in a sealed package and the gloves were intact.

       5.  No examinations were performed to see if the pieces of surgical
       gloves were of the same type as the gloves of Exhibit D-245.

           The following are approximate sizes of the pieces of surgeon's
       gloves:

           Exhibit I-3 - Size of a dime
           Exhibit I-21 - Three fourth's of one finger
           Exhibit I-213- Size of a quarter
           Exhibit I-226- Size of a dime

       6.  Exhibit L ("Esquire", with red stain on edge):  The bloodstain appeared
       to have been made by a person's finger due to it's [sic] shape.  However, it can-
       not be positively stated that it was made by a person's finger since definite
       ridge patter formation was precluded by the separations of the individual
       pages.  (Reverence our Laboratory Report No. P-FA-D-C-FP-R15, dated 2 September
       1970.)
