Abstract
A YEAR ago circulars were printed and cards issued with a view to the formation of a collection of simple measurements on parents and children, which would be of service in testing theories of heredity. In particular, such problems as are dealt with by me in a memoir on regression, heredity, and panmixia (printed in the Phil. Trans. of the current year), which treats of biparental inheritance, require statistics far more numerous than have been hitherto available. The measurements are of a simple character, involving but little elaboration, and all that is required is a willing father, mother, and one or more sons or daughters.
