Vari under Dom: vol 2 p. 86 1st edit.

The 1/2 wild cattle in each Park, being nearly uniform, whereas they differ to a certain extent in different Park, (& yet condition not very different) support Weismann view of variability being rather different & uniformly gained by intercrossing.—

(keep for Var under Nature)

[Variation 2: 86: "We have seen that the half-wild cattle in the several British parks are uniform in character in each; but in the different parks, from not having mingled and crossed during many generations, they differ in a slight degree."]
