Studies in Juglans. — II, Further observations on a new variety of Jug- 

 lans californica Watson and on certain supposed walnut-oak hybrids, E. B. 

 Babcock {XJniv. Cal. Pubs. Agr. Sci., 2 {1914), A^o- 2, pp. 47-70, pis. 7).— In a 

 previous study (E. S. R., 30, p. 644) relative to the origin of this new form of 

 walnut the author advanced as working hypotheses those of hybridization, 

 teratology, and mutation. As the result of the study reported in the present 

 paper it is concluded that there is no evidence to show that J. californica 

 quercina originated through hybridization with other walnuts or with oaks. 

 Also, the new variety does not appear to have been caused by teratology. The 

 evidence, as a whole, indicates that the Quercina walnut is a mutation similar 

 in nature to certain mutations in the tomato, cotton, tobacco, and evening 

 primrose, which have been designated as aggregate unitation.
