He traced in the Stud Book 370foals by the above mentioned stallions out of chest-nut mares and all were bay in color, thus justifyinghis conclus iot tne cmfwyvbqjvbgkqjbgkqjvbgkqgfghis conclusion that the bay color was dominant overthe chestnut which was recessive. Hurst also foundthat the 12 bay stallions—Royal Hampton, Donovan,St. Angelo, Florizel II, Orvieto, Pioneer, Isonomy,Isinglass, Ayrshire, Melton.

All these sires had both bay and chestnut intheir immediate parentage. Reasoning on Mendelianlines, if they were all mongrel bay chestnuts, theirprogeny out of chestnut mares should be bay andin equal numbers. There seemed little doubt there-fore that the colors, bay and chestnut in horses wereinherited according to Mendels laws. The laws of the inheritance of the color of High-land cattle worked out by Wilson, appears also tobe on Mendelian lines. Spillman, of the U. S. De-partment of Agriculture, also shows by statisticsthat in cattle the polled condition was dominant overhorns and in pigs he also traced the inheritance ofcolor on Medelian lines. Recent experiments of Nuttall and others, withantisera made from the blood of any animal, givereaction only with the blood of the same species orwith original blood relations. These experimentsmake it now possible to determine t
