The same generous donor also presented as material for 

 study in the Hope Department the results of two breeding 

 experiments conducted by him at Rabai. 



The first consists of a {QvciBXe Hypoli$niias misippus {cdi^iured 

 at Rabai, Oct. 31, 1908), intermediate between the type and 

 the var. iiiaria, together with 49 females and 7 males (being 

 all that were kept of this sex) reared from its eggs. The whole 

 of the female offspring were of the inaria var., although, at 

 Rabai, this form is no commoner than the type. These 

 results are perhaps due to the Mcndelian dominance of inaria
