Kellogg, Vernon L. and Smith, R. G. Inheritance in silkworms. 

 In: Leland Stanford Univ. Publ. I. p. 1—89. 4 pls. 12 figg. — „Silk- 

 worms exbibit some characteristics which are alternative in inheritance 

 and which follow in their transmission exactly, or with more or less 

 approximation, Mendelian proportions. But some of these characteristics 

 are not very stable in their alternative and Mendelian behaviour. 

 Some other characteristics are not discontinuous or alternative in 

 character or inheritance, but are of the nature of fluctuating variations, 

 and are strongly obedient to Galtons law of regression. Larval colour- 

 pattem differences are consistently and rigorously alternative and 

 Mendelian in inheritance; cocoon colours tend to be alternative and 

 Mendelian in behaviour but are inconsistent as to dominancy and 

 recessiveness and numerical proportions and may even break down 

 and blend, or one colour be otherwise influenced or m-odified by the 

 presence in a mating, of another. Larval pattern and cocoon colour 

 characters do not, except as coincidences, follow the same parent in 

 dominance. In cross-mating, combining opposed larval and cocoon 

 characters, dominance in larval pattern may be with the parental 

 type, in the cocoon colour mih. the maternal, or vice versa, 

 or both dominances may rest with the paternal or the maternal type. 

 Dominance is a function of the charactistic, not of the parental in- 



fluence. Dominance ist not a function of sex or of bodily vigour. 



With cocoon colours, characteristic differences peculier to 



strain (or race) and individual are marked. Strain and individual idio- 

 syncrasies are real and important, and thus, sweeping generalisations 

 concerning the inheritance behaviour of the cocoon colours, tending 

 to class them unreservedly in the Mendelian category, cannot be 

 made. The tendency is for them to behave in Mendelian manner, but 

 it is a tendency subject to numerous, marked and various inconsistencies 

 and irregularities."
