SELECTION IN CLADOCERA ON THE BASIS OF 



strains. Hence this comparison affords further evidence of an effect 

 of selection in Line 711. 



An effect of selection within Line 711 is not certainly established, 

 however, in view of the lack of sufficient confirmation from the same- 

 day-brood data. But these data were not very numerous and it is

difficult to ignore the very consistent differences between the two 

 strains after the first 4 months of the experiment. It is to be re- 

 gretted that no test series was conducted with this line. 



This case is very similar to that for Line 689, with which there 

 was a similar difference, but in the reverse direction.
