give nothing but rogues) can readily bo divided into two main groups 

 according as they produce 



A. Families consisting of a largo majority of typical plants 



with only occasional inilividuals belonging to the lower 

 grades. 



B. Families consisting of few typical plants and a majority of 



the lower grades. 



The plants that have thrown families of the A group were : 



Typical plants of class 1. 



All the plants of class 2 except one. 



Three plants of class 3. 



The plants that threw families of the B group were : 

 None of class 1. 



One plant which had been reckoned as class 2. 

 Thirteen plants of class 3. 



Families of Group A. 



Of these there were in all 137 of which the records are sufficiently 

 complete, and of them 77 families, aggregating about 3800 plants', 

 contain nothing lower than class 2. These we regard as breeding true 

 to type. The remaining 60 families contained the lower or aberrant 

 plants with greater or less frequency. 



Of these 60 families 42 were from parents in every way typical and 

 the immediate offspring of types. They gave 



2154 of classes 1 and 2, 

 48 of class 3, 

 81 of classes 4 and 5, 



or 2154 types to 79 aberrants, viz. 27'3 : 1. 



4 families were from parents in every way typical but extracted 

 from class 3 parents. They gave 



243 of classes 1 and 2, 

 4 of class 3, 

 3 of classes 4 and 5, 



or 243 types to 7 aberrants, viz. 84' 7 : 1. 



' In some families recorded as true before the general course of tlie phenomena was 

 known we have only estimates of the totals, and hence the precise numbers cannot 

 be given.
