their native environment, there are 114 colts to 132 fillies. Reduced 
to percentages these figures give : — European produce, 103*1 males 
to 100 females ; Arab produce, 86 - 7 males to 100 females ; difference, 
16*4. As all the animals of the haras live side by side and are sub- 
jected to like treatment throughout, M. Cornevin considers that the 
results stated may be legitimately attributed to the influence of the 
environment. He does not, however, discuss the circumstance that 
the results of individual years are, as the table shows, frequently at 
variance with the general result on which he bases his conclusion.
