the types with a high percentage of certainty, so that only a few of the matings 

 made were other than the intended combination. 



This is the typical reaction given by inbreeding F^ mid-types with equivalent 

 Ac values and standard conditions, and no exception or variation thereto has 

 thus far been observed in F,, and it is everywhere consistent in ratios, products, 

 and the dominance in the larval characters of those from undecimlineata, 

 regardless of whether the undecimlineata parent was male or female. Unlike

Note. — The number of pairs tested in the above table has no relation to the 

 frequency, owing to my being able to rather accurately determine by inspection the 

 composition and many matings made for purposes other than this test. 



the c^o^5s of diversaxsignuticolUs, the array in F, shows nine different kinds of 

 mid-types, only one class of which is comparable to the F^ condition and occurs 

 closely in tests and recognized counts on the average of eight times in the total 

 frequency of combinations. All other mid-types are different in their constitu- 

 tion and reaction from the F^ and the one class of F2 mid-types. I have no 

 doubt that this represents a typical and perfect instance of the behavior present
