CHICKS HATCHED FROM ALCOHOLIZED EGGS 129 



Chick 43 was a water chick. Alcohols 71 and 72, who made 

 very bad records in Maze 2, both made excellent records in 

 Maze 3. Water 51, although slow in Maze 3, showed a dis- 

 tinctly normal rate of improvement. If consistent inability to 

 decrease the time in running a maze is any indication of inability 

 to acquire a new co-ordination then our results would indicate 

 that the only chick we had which showed such inability was 

 one hatched from an egg any unusual characteristic of which 

 we were neither responsible for nor cognizant of. 

 The following table gives the results for Maze 3. 



TABLE 10 



Chicks 2, 4, 10 and 14 Were Normal Chicks. Chicks 20, 23 and 25 Were 

 Hole Chicks. Chicks 41, 43, 46, 47, 48 and 51 Were Water Chicks. 

 Chicks 71, 72, 74, 80, and 81 Were Alcohol Chicks.
