The conclusion to be drawn from Table XXIII is that the pigmented 

 muzzle is dominant to the nonpigmented one. 



Behavior of the Tongue Pigment in the Fi Offspring 



The inheritance of tongue color in cattle has already been studied in 

 this laboratory. The previous study on several thousand cattle indicates 

 that pigmentation is due to two closely coupled factors. The data here 

 are not sufficient to test this hypothesis thoroughly. As far as it goes, 

 Table XXIV substantiates the previous conclusions.
