In order to compare this inference from Mendel's law and the assumption of independency, with the results of our experiments, we must calculate the figures of the latter in percentages. In this way we find: Found Calculated Blue with thorns 128=51% 56.25% Blue unarmed 47=19% 18.75% White with thorns 54=22% 18.75% White unarmed 21= 8% 6.25%

Thorns and blue pigment are obviously active qualities, as they are dominant in the hybrids. In the second generation both pairs of characters are resolved into their constituents and paired anew according to Mendel's law.

The servants had consented to stay, for the present, and their decision was more due to Doctor Mendel's hints about the law, than their own loyalty to Mrs. Spencer. Then Doctor Mendel had met Mr. Spencer at the railroad station, and had explained affairs to him. Although it seemed very hard it was thought advisable by all interested, that Mr. Spencer should not go to his home at all.

Some time after, a Jew who, through Mendel's influence during Pomeroff's palmy days had obtained the office of under-secretary to a police magistrate, was summarily dismissed "because he was a Hebrew."

In his Mendel's Principles of Heredity, 1909, Bateson does not discuss the nature of somatic sex-characters in general, but appears to regard them as essential sex-features, as male or female respectively.

The pious Hebrews, who had toiled industriously during six days of the week to provide for the seventh, had ceased from their labors, had cast aside their cares and sorrows, and rejoiced in the presence of their God. Around Rabbi Mendel's hospitable board there was assembled a goodly company.

The writer of the article on Polish music in Mendel's Conversations-Lexikon remarks: What Chopin has written remains for all times the highest ideal of Polish music.

"In Mendel's top drawer, I suppose.... The question is how are we going to make it up to Plooie?" "I don't think you need worry about that," returned the Bonnie Lassie loftily. Nor was there any occasion for worry. Two days later there occurred an irruption of dismaying young men with casual squares of paper in their pockets, upon which they scratched brief notes.

Eight generations of the hybrids were cultivated, disregarding always the reverting offspring. At the end I counted the progeny of the sixth and seventh generations and found figures for their three groups of descendants, which exactly correspond to Mendel's formula. Until now we have limited ourselves to the consideration of single differentiating units.

At first, for many reasons, Weismann's theories did not meet with general acceptance, but during recent years there has been a marked return to many of his positions, mainly as the result of further cytological discoveries, and of the formulation of Mendel's Law and of De Vries's mutation theory.
