 between Fundulus heteroclitus and Menidia 

 notata with especial reference to the behavior 

 of the maternal and paternal chromatin. 

 Amer. J. Anat., 3: 29-66. 



"The eggs of Fundulus heteroclitus can 

 very easily be impregnated by 

 Tautogolabrus adspersus. The eggs of the 

 former cleave ordinarily in about two 

 hours after the addition of sperm. Those 

 of the latter under similar conditions, 

 cleave in about fifty minutes. In the 

 hybrid, however, the rapid sperm is unable 

 to alter the rate of cleavage and vice versa. 

 This law is strikingly illustrated in the 

 cross between Batrachus tau and 

 Tautogolabrus." p. 36.
