Segregation into infuscata^ commixta, and lycia. 



Looking at the 998 bred specimens * as a whole, it is remai'kable how 

 completely they segregate into infuscata, commixta, and hjcia, and how few 

 specimens can bo considered as intermediate between these. Those that did 



* Including tlie single S "wliich appeared in Family 6.
