Attention is called to the distribution of offspring in the Pal, I 

 Smi, and Wen families. In these families the 

 children are of two extreme types; intermedial 



are absent. The result may be due merely to 

 small numbers, but it suggests the presence of 

 two sorts of gametes in the heterozygous parent 



and hence a tendency to segregation in the 

 offspring. 



Hud Family. (Fig. 45.) 



The Father's (II 7) build is 3.2 (45) ; very fleshy; 

 his father's (I 1) was 2.0 (28) and his mother's 3.2 

 (46). Thus the Father is heterozygous. The Mother's 

 (II 8) build is 2.8 (40). Her father's build was 2.7 

 (38), fleshy; and her mother's 2.5 (35); medium 

 fleshy. The Mother's 7 sibs have builds ranging 

 between 2.5 (35) and 3.2 (46); principally fleshy to 

 very fleshy. So this may be regarded as a back-cross 

 of a heterozygous parent with a fleshy one of fleshy 

 stock. Of the 4 children, 1 is medium-fleshy 1 1 1 1 11) 

 with a build of 2.5 (36), 1 is fleshy (III 10) 2.7 (38). 

 and two very fleshy; build 3.2 (45) ; thus the build 

 of the offspring is varied, but prevailing very fleshy.
