Abstract
THIS is a summary of recent knowledge of sex-linked and sex-controlled, or sex-limited, inheritance, including the recent genetical and cyto-logical studies of sex-linked inheritance in Abraxas, Drosophila, Sciara and Phytodecta among insects; Lebistes and Aplocheilus among fishes; and Melandrium among plants. Each case is carefully elucidated, with a free use of illustrations. Many other animals are considered in the special part, and there is a brief statement concerning the sex-chromosomes and sex-linked inheritance in man. A bibliography of twenty pages completes a very useful summary of this field of heredity.
