INHERITANCE OF TEMPERAMENT. 



79 



The kinds of offspring and the proportions of each that are to be 

 expected from each mating are set forth in table B. This shows, for 

 example, that when one parent is choleric-cheerful and the other the 

 same, all children will be of this type; but if the other parent is nervous- 

 phlegmatic, the children will be of the four classes: choleric-cheerful, 

 choleric-phlegmatic, nervous-cheerful, and nervous-phlegmatic. The 

 greatest variety (including all types) of offspring is derived from the 

 mating of two nervous-phlegmatic parents. 



Table B. — Most probable distributions of temperaments in the offspring corresponding to each 

 combination of temperamental zygotic make-up of the parents. Assumed number to the 

 fraternity, 8.
