Analysis of Heterogeneity in the Population 



285 



Compared with the Chapultepec population for corresponding generations, 

 this series at the Texcoco colony show constant differences, chief of which is the 

 uniform restriction of the mass of the population to a rather narrow range in and 

 about biotype 7 ; and second, the striking presence in the population of distinctly 

 isolated groups, none of which have any constancy of numbers or occurrence. 

 With the onset of environmental conditions which at other locations are opti-

mum conditions in the medium, the population at Texcoco was on the whole 

 inclined to exhibit an increased response to the conditions in the form of 

 widened ranges of the pattern combinations presented, which may be cause and 

 effect, but not necessarily so. Commonly it would be so considered and the rela- 

 tion considered as established ; but it is in any such " establishment " assumed 

 that the material is uniform at the two locations, which may or may not be true. 

 If the populations were uniform, then the certainty of such determinations
