A knowledge of the behavior of the individual characters in the 

 second generation can best be obtained by a study of the distribution 

 diagrams, figures i to 33. 



To facilitate the study of the relation of the characters to one another 

 in inheritance, the table of correlations. Table III, is provided. Any- 

 thing approaching a complete analysis of the data is, of course, out of 

 the question; but the correlation coefficients and the statistical con- 

 stants given in Tables IV and V afford a means for testing the validity 

 of any assumed relationship. In the discussion of the characters an 

 attempt will be made to indicate the more striking correlations.

various characters 



"Figures indicate number of plants exhibiting each character to the extent shown in the first column. 

 For discussion of units of measurement see p. 7-8.
