Following the tables recording these facts are the records of the distribution of 
sex obtained by the same method, for the next to the latest generations, in the 
male lines ; and parallel to them the records of the distribution of sex in the 
fraternities of their fathers and mothers. 
I then sought to find a correlation in the distribution of sex in the fraternities 
of all the children, and the distribution of sex in the fraternities to which their 
parents belonged. 
I have divided all the fraternities into two classes, first those luith an excess of 
males, and second those ivithout an excess of males. By this means I could utilise 
those cases which frequently occur, in which the proportion of males and females is 
equal.
