1 At this point in the breeding of these black barbs it is remarked that "this is an interesting case, as the color runs 

 from black to red and to gray; black being most frequent, red occasional, and gray very rare." Black color predominates, 

 and most pronouncedly so ut the season of strongest germs (spring) and in the kind of matings (unrelated, or mature parentage) 

 elsewhere found to be productive of strong progeny. KDITOK.
