   For a small book such as James, I can understand your reticence on relying
on profile methods to determine text type.  I'd suggest examining a textual
apparatus or two of James and make a note of how the miniscule mss fall in
line.
   I am sure you will want to consider 33 and 81.

  There is a list of catagories in the Alands'  _The Text of the New
Testament_, pp 156-159, 1987 ed.
    I picked out *some* in the Alands list that I noticed are textual
witnesses in James.  (Look at their book for more info):
 
    Catagory I (Alex): 33, 1241, 1739
    Catagory II/mixed: 81, 323
    Catagory III/independent: 88, 398 (cath), 623, 2495
    Catagory IV/Beza:  none
    Catagory V:  'M'  in text apparatus

  I hope this gets you started or is what you were looking for.
