studies. Of the oflFspring of Taurus Creamelle Hengerveld, No. 14, 16, 

 and 50 behave in contradiction to expectation. Of these the anomalous 

 parents of No. 14 and 46 are available for study. The same difficulty 

 of reconciling the behavior of No. 14 with expectation is experienced as 

 in the preceding case. There are only three parents up to the fifth 

 generation which carry the white. 



It will be noted from the color pedigree of Lassie of M. F. that the 

 chance of her carrying white for the legs is good, since two parents, 

 Figgis and Imp. Golden Ferris Lad, both had these marks. The same is 

 also true for markings on the tail (Table XIX). 



The case of Lassie of M. F. is much better, as she had both of her 

 grandfathers carrying the factor. The other exception is that of No. 1 1 

 by Lakeland's Poet. It will be noted in the previous pedigree that 

 there is a good chance for this animal to carry the factor for a white 

 tail, as the description indicates that this mark is carried by his father.

White on the belly takes a variety of patterns, depending largely on 

 the method of extension of these areas. The primary area, if it may 

 be spoken of as such, is a white spot in the region of the udder. This 

 is practically always present when any of the other extensions toward
