These experiments were begun in June, 1903. The plants used were raised form seed obtained from Messrs. Sutton. The course of inheritance in regard to flower colour was the main object of the enquiry.Preliminary Statement of Results . There are as regards colour five easily-distinguishable types of Antirrhinum flowers, namely:— 1. White—Lips and tube pure white (Pl. 4, fig. 1). 2. yellow—Lips brimstone-yellow; tube ivory. The ivory tube is distinctly recognisable from the pure white tube of the albino (fig. 2)
