No clearer and sounder discussion of 

 the application of Mcndclisni in animal- 

 brccdin}^ exists than this hooklct of Pro- 

 fessor Reimcrs, editor of the Veldpost, 

 the greatest agricultural iournal of 

 Holland, and instnictor in llu' aijricul-

tural school at Utrecht. After a full 

 explanation of the Mendelian laws, he 

 di-cusses their limitations, fully recog- 

 nizing that they are not of great im- 

 ])()rtancc so far to the p-actical breeder, 

 lie then outlines a method of selection 

 on the basis of the animals' perfonnance 

 as breeders, which is in accord with the 

 theory of genetics.
