For an Exhibit of Hybrids 



In connection with the annual meeting of the American Genetic Association at 

 San Francisco in September, 1915, it is proposed to give members an opportunity 

 to exhibit interesting hybrids, cither of plants or animals. These will probably be 

 installed at the University of California, where an unusual series of cross-bred 

 forms of tobaccos and walnuts will be shown. The Association will undertake to 

 care for exhibits sent, but can not assume any expense in connection with their 

 transportation. The secretary will be glad to hear from meml^ers who can con- 

 tribute interesting productions for this display.
