HALF-LOP RABBIT 



A half-lop rabbit, after Darwin, an instance of a variation which seems to be rather uncertain in its inheritance. The peculiarity is 

 that one of the ears hangs down, whereas in "full-lops" both ears do. The pendent ear is often broader and longer than the upright 

 one, an unusual asymmetry. Darwin noted that when the half-lopped condition occurs, whether in one parent only or in both, there is 

 nearly as rood a chance of the progeny having both ears full-lop as if both parents had been full-lopped. 



INHERITANCE IN SNAILS, WITH BANDLESS AND BANDED VARIETIES 

 (After Lang.) 



When bandless Wood-Snails (Helix nemoralis) or bandless Garden Snails (Helix hortensis) are crossed with banded individuals of 

 these species, each will make a nest in the ground and deposit half a hundred eggs or more. A snail is always hermaphrodite, produc-
