If the cytoplasm with some of its passes into the egg along with the male nucleus, Correns' original exi)lanation of maternal inheritance will have to be abandoned, and the of the failure of the pollen to transmit these plastid deficiencies will have to lie sought elsewhere. In some forms (Zea, Oryza, Hosta, etc.) only two tyjies of plants reach maturity, those which are variegated and normally green. The lighter jilants die. The variegated plants iiro- duce a certain amount of normal jiollenâ, ])ollen without any defective plastitls. When the flower is pollinated with a mixture of normal and defective pollen, selective fertilization could exjilain the failure of the male parent to the defect. It is evident that only a few mitochondria enter the egg with the male nucleus. They
