! die of q raw sore, we inoculate the cells
of the adjoining gra~nulations, and en-
power them to develop epidermic struc-
ture. How, then, can we avoid the
conclusion that the ~impregnated ovum
impresses its own characters on the
mass of the decidua, and through this
on the maternal ~placenta, and that this
In its turn impresses its characters on
the decidua and embryo of the next
succeeding conception?" (Iereditary
Entailments, p. 15.) This is, in many
respects, a very plausible theory, and
there are a number of good arguments
in favor of il; but we can hardly imag-
inc such All influence to exist without
being constant, in which case 1t would
certainly cause the female to have a
very much greater influence on the
characters of the offspring than the
male. Again, il is not applicable to
birds.
Mr.. Darwin's theory is not open to
these objections, and is worthy of being
studied by every one interested in the
subject. He supposes every organism
(animal or plant) to be made up of dis
tinct cells (organic units), each OF
which throw off free and minute atoms
(gemules) capable of reproducing a cell
similar to the one from which they arc
derived. These gemmules become ag-
gregated in the sexual organs; and ev-
cry s~permatozoid or ovum is made up
of gemmules from every part of the
body. Finally, he believes that some OF
the gemmules which do not unite with
the OWN after population may be alb
sorbed by the organs of the female, are
diffuscd and retained, and are compo.
nent parts of subsequent ova. That is,
the influence of the previous impregna-
ton is exerted, according to this theory,
on the ovum during its formation in
the ovary, and not directly on the en-
bryo. 1t consequently is applicable to
birds, and is not incompatible with oui
belief that: the characters of the off
spring are inherited equally from each
Of the parents. This hypothesis is un-
doubleday very complex, but SO, as
Darwin remarks, are the facts il is nee
essary to explain.
In conclusion, we may add a points
of practical interest:
l. That some of the cases supposed to
illustrate the influence of a previous
impregnation are probably simply cases
of atavism.
2. That we have hardly enough un.
disputed facts to demonstrate the cxis-
tcnce of the influence.
8. That if it exists, it is far from be.
ing as constant as some writers would
have us believe.
4. AS a general rule, according to the
present state of our knowledge, the
value of a female is not greatly ~lessened
by being bred to an inferior animal.
5. Females of pure blood and other
wise desirable for breeding purposes,
need not be rejected on this account

influence ofPrevious Impregnation,

In my last paper l tried to show that
the facts, so far produced, could hardly
be accepted as proving so important a
point as the influence of a previous inn
pregnatiOn o a subsequent one. Still
these facts have been accepted as q suffi-
cient demonstration by most scientific
men and breeders, and they will prob
ably continue to believe in this infiu-
ence, and will explain its action by one
of the several theories which have been
remains for me to indicate the one
which is most in accordance with ac-
cepted physiological principles.
II may be well here to call attention
TO the fact that DR.. Chaplin and others
have given cases of this influence in
pigeons about as satisfactory as any re-
ported with animals, and these added
to those with poultry, mentioned in the
article by NJ, on page 270, make a very
respectable list of such cases, which
can no longer be rejected by those who
accept similar ones with animals. Any
. theory, then, to be perfectly acceptable
in the present state of our knowledge,
should apply TO birds al well as mann
mails, and should not contradict the
conclusion arrived at in a previous ar.
ticle, that the influences OF the two sex
es on the offspring are about equal.
The first OF these theories considers
that the influence is due to an effect Oh
the mother, produced by the "close at
tachment and freely intercommunicat
ing blood vessels" between her and thu
embryo. This hypothesis is based up
on q supposed anatomical arrangement
which does not exist In reality; TO
there are no freely intercommunicatinI
blood vessels between the mother anl
embroyo, the same blood does not cir
culate in them both, and the nutrimen
received by the latter as well as the CT
fete products given of must pass acros
the walls of ~capillaries in the same man
ner as moisture is given off In on
