(6) Thus, reciprocal C x c matings, resulting in practically 50 crests and 
50 % crest-bred plainheads, agree with the Mendelian result of a heterozygote 
X homozygote union ; it is difficult to get a corresponding agreement in the G x C 
matings, which give twice the number of crests as compared with crest-bred plain- 
heads.

shows. The same is true of the crest-bred plainheads, one of which, " Cock o' the

Champion of two years' standing, under Mr Bexon, one of the best known English
