as the first back-cross and does in fact do so. In table 19 both types of 

 experiment are treated together. Figure 14 is a graphical representa- 

 tion of the result of one experiment of the type here described. 



It should be noted that such experiments are suited only for the 

 detection of dominant modifiers present in one Pi race, or, stated 

 conversely, recessives present both in one Pi race and in the speck race 

 from which the test female came.

Table 19 gives the results of the experiments of this type thai have 

 been carried out. (For the raw data see Appendix.) The first two 

 columns give the Pi races, or in cases where the tested male came 

 himself from a back-cross test, the original source of his not-speck 

 and speck chromosomes. The third column gives the BOUTCe of the 

 test female. All tests in which the data for these three columns were 

 identical have been lumped. The next three columns give the mean
