Abstract
THE subject of the numerical proportions of the sexes in a population necessarily appeals to so many interests that it is not surprising to find that considerable attention has been paid to it. But so complicated are the problems that cluster around it that even yet our understanding of the significance of the sex ratio is still very incomplete. Recent developments in cyto-genetics have removed many of the difficulties that have surrounded this subject, so that it is possible now to re-examine the problem more hopefully.
