parison of the radiographs revealed an absolute correspondence, even in details between the 

 man's and the child's type of brachyphalangy. The possibility of the mother being acquainted 

 with other brachyphalangious men could be excluded, and the conclusion given in the case 

 was positive. The man, according to the judgment passed, was found to be the father of 

 the child mentioned. — Otto L. Mohr.

 deleterious influence on the host's somatic or psychical characteristics, nor was there evidence 

 of an antagonism between the 2 unlike gonads. — H. D. Goodale.

1361. [Palmer, E, F.] Report of the Ontario Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland 

 Station, Ontario. 1918: 1-40. 1919.— The "Plant Breeding Report" occurs on pages 

 9-21, and is devoted mainly to the progress of fruit and vegetable breeding projects. A 

 few Early Crawford peach seedlings which had fruited were apparently worthless, while a 

 Leamington self-fertilized seedling showed much promise. Seedlings of Rubus occidentalis 

 and Gregg (black raspberry) came so true to type that it is deemed feasible to propagate black- 

 caps by seed. Slight variations were noted in the degree of thorniness, habit of fruiting, and 

 size and quality of the fruit in 410 seedlings of Rnbus strigosis (wild red raspberry). All seed- 

 lings, 140 in number, of Rubus occidentalis (wild black) X Rubus strigosis (wild red) possessed 

 characters of both species and bore purple fruits; while 230 plants of the reciprocal cross 

 possessed wild red raspberry foliage and thornier canes than the red raspberry and bore red 

 fruits that were drier and firmer than the wild red. Seedlings, 152 in number, of Gregg X 

 Cuthbert (red raspberry) gave 117 intermediate purple-fruited types, 28 black caps, and 7 

 red raspberries, or an approximate ratio of 1 red to 4 blacks to 16 purples. The purples varied 

 in thorniness from very thorny to almost smooth, while the black caps resembled the Gregg 

 and the red the Cuthbert as regards thorniness. The reciprocal cross, Cuthbert X Gregg
