. Breviora. BREVIORA No. 330 in a latrans-lupus discrimination is negative. The most doglike specimens fall within the range for latrans in this latter discrimina- tion and the few specimens which are wolflike are exactly inter- mediate in the latrans-jamiliaris discrimination. Fig. 2. Linear discriminant values of variously bred F2 dog-coyote hybrids (G). The coordinate axes and contours are identical to those of Figure 1. In summary, it can be said that the technique of linear discrim- ination can be useful for identifying hybrids between two known ancestors on the basis of multiple ch

In summary, it can be said that the technique of linear discrim- ination can be useful for identifying hybrids between two known ancestors on the basis of multiple characters. Specimens in this category may be expected to fall between the two parent stocks. Referring specifically to Canis, the population of known Fi hybrids studied is characterized by having a mean latrans-jamiliaris dis- criminant function value ( — ) almost exactly between that for latrans ( — ) and that for faniiliaris ( — ). The Fo generation is also intermediate, but the discriminant value ( — ) tends to- ward that of jamiliaris. PART II New England Canis Specimens examined. Twenty-two animals, offspring of siblings, dug from a den near Croydon, New Hampshire, were studied; of these, sixteen were included in the multiple character analysis. A sibUng of the parents was also included, although the parents.
