An Introduction to a Biology 



bred several examples of this new species, but have so far 

 been unable to obtain young from them. 



The reader may suspect that there is something pecu- 

 liar about these two characters — albinism and waltzin.or — 



o 



that the former is one that is likely to have arisen as a sport, 

 and that the latter is, in a way, pathological, and that both 

 are of such a kind as to be very quickly eliminated in the 

 struggle for existence : my opinion is that such a suspicion 

 is of great interest. But I do not propose to discuss the 

 source of such variations here : all I have tried to do is to 

 sketch the relation which exists between Mendelian Prin- 

 ciples and current theories of the origin of species.
