Abstract
THE application of Mendelian principles to the inheritance of an economically productive character of an animal has a twofold importance, viz. first, because it may be questioned whether or not it is possible to apply a Mendelian interpretation to the facts, and, secondly, the data and conclusions arrived at make it possible for others to outline a practical scheme of breeding with the view of an increased egg-production.
