whose hereditary value is represented vertically above 
them. The barbs in the bracket show the parents of the 
previous generation which had been selected and cor- 
respond therefore to the totals in the table on page 478. 
The chief point which this pedigree brings out, is that 
the selection of the hemi-syncotyls does not modify the 
HEMI-SYNCOTYLOUS RACE.

race either in one direction or in the other. If we omit 
the crop of 1890 the several generations fluctuate round 
a mean value which does not deviate greatly from 55% 
and thereby agrees sufficiently closely with the average 
of tricotylous individuals in tricotylous intermediate races. 
In other words, the selection of hemi-syncotyls gives a 
syncotylous race of average value; and if we compare
