As the figures show, crimson-coloured eggs always produced crimson- 

 eyed worms and moths and the normal ones gave dark-eyed worms and 

 moths. Both the crimson and normal-eyed moths paired inter se gave 

 the following ^j egg-batches :

Of seven crimson-eyed matings, four gave all crimson-coloured 

 eggs, while the remainder gave all divoltine white eggs which in the 

 next generation gave rise to crimson-eyed worms and moths and laid 

 all crimson-coloured eggs. We may say, therefore, that the crimson- 

 coloured characteristic is segregated from the normal-coloured ones. 

 The lineage of this series gave all crimson-coloured eggs in the succeeding 

 generations.
