all divoltine white eggs 



As the figures shew,certain normal-eyed matings gave all normal dark- 

 coloured eggs while others gave mixed batches (3 normals : 1 crimson). 



The lineage of the crimson-eyed matings which yielded all divoltine 

 white eggs remained true to parents in their successive generations, 

 and gave crimson-coloured eggs without exception in the summer 

 brood. 



The order of inheritance of these characteristics is in exact accord- 

 ance with the F3 of a monohybrid cross, and the parental mixed eggs 

 given by Mr Saito were undoubtedly F2 eggs between the crimson and 

 normal-coloured forms. Now we may clearly see that those crimson- 

 coloured characteristics found in the three different breeds are in the 

 same nature and Meudelize in the normal order, the crimson beintr 

 hypostatic to the normal-coloured one.
