SUMMARIES OF THE HISTOLOGIC CHARACTERS, ETC. 



201 



The second two hybrids differ almost as much from 

 each other as they do from their parents, or as the parents 

 differ from each other. Biparental inheritance is mani- 

 fest in all of the designations, varying differences in the 

 degrees of influence of one or the other parent being 

 quite apparent throughout. In form, the grains of N. 

 giantess incline to N. bowdeni, and those of N. abund- 

 ance to the other parent; but the grains of the hybrids 



are very close to one another. In hilum, N. giantess 

 is closer to N. sarniensis var. corusca major; whereas 

 in N. abundance it inclines in character to N. bowdeni, 

 but in eccentricity to the other parent. In character, 

 N. abundance is nearer than N. giantess to N. bowdeni. 

 In both lamella; and size there are reversals in both hy- 

 brids of parental relationships. In size N. abundance 

 is nearer than N. giantess to N. bowdeni. In the
