Analysis of HaneVs data 



Since this method of treating the data does not deal with 

 individual clones it seemed advisable to carry the analysis some- 

 what farther. I have computed the mean number of tentacles 

 of all individuals in each of HaneFs clones and the correlation 

 between parent and offspring for each.^ These are given in 

 tables 2 and 3. The mean numbers of tentacles of the clones 



TABLE 2 

 The mean number of tentacles of HaneVs clones arranged in the order oj magnitude 



- Hanel records the variations in her clones in percentages; the tables contain 

 many errors, the sum of the percentages included in one array ranging from 85 to 

 140 per cent. This leads to error in the means and correlations computed from 

 the tables but these probably average out in the numerous constants determined.
