 diagram (Fig. 101). The four lines, "quadrants," 

 (1, 2, 3, 4) that are descended from each of six ex- 

 conjugants (viz. G, #, L, M, Q, B) are shown. At

FIG. 101. History of six (G, H, L, M, Q, B) ex-conjugants. In each 

 the descendants of the first four individuals (after conjugation) is shown; 

 the numbers indicate the pairs of conjugants counted when the test was 

 made. -X" indicates deaths; O indicates that no conjugation took place. 

 (After Calkins.) 



number of conjugating pairs counted. The results 

 are shown in the diagram. The circles indicate no 

 conjugations ; X indicates the death of the strain. 

 In the G and in the M series many conjugations took 

 place. In other series conjugation did not take place 

 until much later. Striking differences appear in the 

 different quadrants although they were kept under 

 similar conditions.
