and tame-non-savage are equal and the tame-savage are, as 

 usual, the least in numbers. This apparent influence of the 

 tame female over the offspring is not shown in the like mating 

 in Series B, since only 0.08 of the total number of mice (sum of 

 t-s and t-n) are found in the tame classes and 0.328 (sum of 

 w-n and t-n) are in the non-savage classes. These percentages

 tame male). 



The results of the matings of the mice of Series A, Fi, are 

 presented in table 40, and those of Series B in table 41. The
