Abstract
IN the conditions under which they work, students of genetics enjoy exceptional advantages in America, where the munificence of private benefactors or the enterprise of various States has already led to the creation of several institutions specially, endowed for this line of research; and from time to time the record of their work may appear in the form of a sumptuous publication issued by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Dr. Davenport is already known for his investigations on heredity in poultry, and the present volume forms a continuation of the account of his researches to which a volume in the same series was devoted in 1906.
