Bateson ('02) has seen fit to claim that (p. 133, note) alkapto- nuria is the result in inheritance of the union of " two ; Garrod has concurred in the view. But in the light of the in- constant and intermittent character of the phenomenon, it seems necessary to draw a directly opposite conclusion. 1 This according to Neubauer ('08). 2 See discussion of Spiegler's work ('03), etc., p. 328 of this paper. 3These from Gessard ('03) and from Bertrand ('08). 4 Concerning the formation of homogentisic acid from tyrosin in plant tissues, see Schulze and Castoro, Zeit. f.
