FIGURE NO. 13 



EVOLUTION AMONG POULTRY 



The figures II-V show four of the races of poultry which have 

 been evolved under domestication, the progenitor of all being the 

 wild Jungle Fowl (I), Gallus bankiva of India. Variations or 

 mutations arise; man keeps them apart, pairing them with others 

 like themselves ; divergent or retrogressive individuals are elimi- 

 nated; gradually there is established a stable race, breeding true. 

 I. Ancestral Jungle Fowl. II. Cochin China race. III. Bantam. 

 IV. Hamburgh. V. Poland.
