INHERITANCE OF CHARACTEEISTICS IN DOMESTIC FOWL. 



both, with reference to booting; only breeding enables us to make a decis- 

 ion. There is an exception, however, in the case of pure extracted reces- 

 sives. They are distinguished by heavy booting and produce only booted 

 offspring. I propose to give, in detail, the matings of these later generations 

 and their progeny, the famiUes being arranged in decreasing order of aver- 

 age grade of booting (table 38). 



Table 38. — Distribution of boot-grades in offspring of parents one or both of which belong to a hybrid 



generation beyond the first.
