Mendel's Principles applied to Prof. Spillman's Tables. 



A glance at Prof. Spillman's tables at once suggested to me a probable 

 confirmation of the Mendelian Principles, and a detailed analysis proved 

 this beyond doubt. 



It will be noted that in Tables III. and IV. Prof. Spillman takes 

 into consideration a single character only, while in the remaining tables 

 two or three characters are taken together. From the Mendelian point 

 of view this is rather complicated. In order to simplify matters, I will 

 first take each single character separately through the whole of the ex- 

 periments, making a separate table for each character, and at the same 

 time showing the percentage results as given by Prof. Spillman in his 

 tables, with cross references thereto in the margin. 



In this way complicated calculations will be avoided at the outset, 

 and a simple result will be attained which will clearly illustrate the 

 Mendelian Principles. The way will then be cleared for an examination 

 of Prof. Spillman's original tables in which two and three characters are 

 taken together.
