diploidised the large mycelium rapidly and completely. This, in 

 view of the results of experiments described earUer in this chapter, 

 was to be expected. 



Table VIII. 



Illegitimate Combinations : Comparison of the Effect produced on a Large 

 Haploid Mycelium by {!) two different Haploid Inocula and by (2) a 

 Diploid Inoculum,. 



In Table VIII are shown the results obtained in eight illegitimate 

 combinations where the inoculum was haploid and in four where 

 the inoculum was diploid. In six of the combinations, Nos. 2, 4, 

 5, 7, 10, and 11, the haploid inoculum effected no change in the 

 large haploid mycelium. In two of the combinations, Nos. 1 and 8,
