TABLE II 



Crosses made among the Progeny of the Hybrids Shown in Table I 



The maternal inheritance described in this paper seems 

 to be essentially the same phenomenon as the inheritance 

 of the character " albo-maculata" which was studied by 

 Correns 2 in Mirabilis Jalapa and also by Baur 3 in Antir- 

 rhinum ma jus. In each case one is dealing with chroma- 

 tophore characters.
