 C, curves showing the degree of striping amongst the 

 offspring of three insect-fertihzed plants, 1897. g, lemon 

 yellow, almost without red stripes ; s, narrowly striped ; 

 b, broadly striped ; R, uniform red. See table, page 125, 



recording the rather scanty offspring of four coarsely 

 striped parents. The result is given below. (The indi- 

 vidual seed-parents of 1897 are denoted as Ai — A4.)
