With these types of female color- ation may be developed male types with the female markings in all black sections, the red sections remaining as before, as in the Golden-Laced Wyandotte, or changed to give on the special male feathers a distribution corresponding to that in the general plumage, as in the Golden Polish, or with the black in all who practices it cannot long com- pete with one of equal skill who breeds two distinct lines. It is a significant fact that special mat- ing for the sexes, though not made a regular system until after it had been adopted for another pattern, was worked out first with fowls of the colors of the natural species, and as a result of the fancier's efforts to develop in each sex the sexual color tendency. Mating modified black-red color t3^s. We have seen that the black-red color type, the same in pattern in the males of many varieties, is modified in the fe- males of all these varieties; that it may be changed in the females without changing in the males; that the males will regularly trans- mit in their female offspring the pattern peculiar to females of the female coloration on the male a tendency to distribution of red.
