' From October 1, 1913, to June 10, 1914, this male (35) was kept wth a St. alba thought to be a female, but which proved 

 to be a male. After June 16, 1914, male No. 35 was given ,St. alba No. 772, which had already produced 18 eggs during 1914. 

 One of 4 eggs since laid proved infertile with this male and one that hatched gave a weak, crippled (leg) bird, dead at 2 months, 

 with no visible trace of a gonad ! 



- Female 772, the mother of these young, dead of tuberculosis November 23, 1914. 



' None of the tested earlier eggs of this female were wholly infertile, though 1 formed only an 8-day embryo, 1 died while 

 hatching, and 2 were aided in breaking the shell.
