The same male was crossed (33) to an intense striped tabby (3) 
(A.B.M.y). There resulted one intense striped tabby (A.B.M.y) 
male and one blue and cream (a.b.m.Yy) female. 
The same male was crossed (13) to a maltese (17) (a.b.m.y). 
There resulted one maltese (a.b.m.y) male and two blue and 
cream (a.b.m.Yy) females. These blue and cream females are of 
interest as they are almost anomalous blacks. They were men- 
tioned by me in a previous paper (1915, p. 519). They are 
almost entirely dilute blacks except for a very restricted amount 
of white on the under parts. One has a very small amount of 
cream bordering the white at a few points, and a small cream 
spot on the back. The other is entirely without cream except 
for a few cream hairs on one leg and at the tip of the tail. These 
kittens then represent a very close approximation to the anum- 
alous black. 
A short-haired cream male (24) (A’.b.m.Y) was crossed twice 
(34 and 49) with an intense striped tabby (3) (A.B.M.y). There 
resulted five males—three maltese (2 a.B.m.y and 1 a.b.m.y), 
one black (a.B.M.y), and one intense striped tabby (A’.B.M.y); 
and four females—two blue and cream (a.b.m.Yy), one orange 
and blotched (A.b.M.Yy), and one blue and cream striped 
(A’.B.m.Yy). 
Summarizing matings of ‘yellow’ male (YX —) by ‘black’ 
female (yX yX), we have seven matings giving fifteen ‘black’ 
males (yX —) and thirteen ‘tortoiseshell’ females (YX yX). 
Crosses of yellow male by tortoiseshell female are as follows: 
A cross (37) of an orange striped male (B.M.Y) by a blue and 
cream female (26) (a.b.m.Yy) produced two orange-striped 
females (B.M.Y). 
A short-haired cream male (24) (A’.b.m.Y) was crossed (44) 
with an orange and black female (28) (a.M.Yy). There re- 
sulted one cream (m.Y) male and three females—two cream 
(m.YY) and one blue and cream (a.m.Yy). 
The same male was crossed (45) with another orange and 
black female (30) (B.M.Yy). There resulted three males—one 
black (a.M.y), one blotched maltese (A’.b.m.y), and one cream 
(Bamey):
