Matings of B.P.R. $ 5^4. This male has been shown above 

 from his mating with Barred Rock females, to be of class 7 with 

 the gametic constitution fhL-. flJ,2. He was successfully mated 

 with one Cornish Indian Game 2 of class 2. From this mating 

 we have

We see here the same agreement between observation and 

 expectation which has appeared in the previous cases with pure 

 matings. 



Attention may next be turned to the reciprocal cross. 



Matings of Cornish Indian Game males and Barred Plymouth 

 Rock females. Four different Cornish males were used in these 

 matings and got adult daughters. Their breeding histories fol- 

 low. 



Matings of C.I.G. $ 5^8. This bird was used in pure Cornish 

 matings and there shown to be of class 2 (C.I.G.) with constitu- 

 tion fLi!-- fIl-2. His breeding history in producing F-. females 

 was as follows :
