and A of roses is not so close as is N. dainty maid 



to N. elegans. In the sodium-sal icy late reaction- .V.

 maid to X. elegans, and there is marly as much differ- 

 ence between the hybrids as there is between N. queen 

 of roses and N. elegans. The reactions of chloral hy- 

 drate and sodium salicylate are of especial interest be- 

 cause of the reversal of the hybrid and parental relation- 

 ships, .Y. queen of roses being closer to N. elegans, and 

 N. dainty maid closer to N. crispa, in both reactions; 

 while both hybrids incline, as a whole, to N. elegans, X. 

 dainty maid is closer than the other hybrid. The quan- 

 titative reactions bear the most variable relationships to 

 the qualitative reactions, showing, as in preceding sets, 

 the independence of qualitative and quantitative reac- 

 tions with the same agent and reagent.
