The above table repeats in rather greater detail the information 
given previously in Part I., page 309. 
Twenty-five green and 25 yellow seeds were taken at random from 
a large fresh sample of F 4 —offspring of heterozygotes—and were 
examined closely after removal of the testa. The green seeds were 
without exception of a deeper and more vivid green than the greenest 
of the 3 peas in Weldon’s Fig. 1,$ being indeed quite green. The 
yellow seeds were all as yellow as those in Fig. 6, but of a darker shade 
—almost exactly the shade of the yellow ink used for printing the 
figure. It is to be noticed that all these seeds were produced 
upon plants of much more vigorous and healthy appearance than 
those of F,, a fact which suggests that the relatively “ bad ” results 
obtained in the earlier generations may have been due to the bad 
conditions of growth, or want of acclimatization.
