AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF SELECTION. 15 
INBRED MINUS SERIES. 
As in the case of the inbred plus series, two lines were carried on 
here. One of these was not kept long; but its history is given here, 
chiefly because it was used in producing the crossbred minus line.

spineless, kidney, sooty, rough stock and a fe- 
male from 854, which came from 839 (?) and 840 (<7). 840 also 
enters into the pedigree of the 868 line, below. 839 and 840 were 
sister pairs, the males coming from the sepia, spineless, kidney, sooty, 
rough stock, and the females being F, hybrids of the sepia, peach, 
ebony, and Dichet stocks.

way as those for the inbred plus lines.
