p. 327 - Amongst Mammifers can almost distinguish the species by the structure of kidneys, so even better with birds but only by form, not by structure - this is owing to varied shapes of bones of pelvis in Birds

p. 355. G. de Buzareingues Mem. sur les Rapports des deux sexes dans le regne animal

p 355 shows clearly that sexual size of male is transmitted to male offspring - so by crosses with large bull, bull-calves were larger than cow calves, again by crossing small merino rams with larger shells - ram-lambs were generally smaller than she-lambs – [in margin: Ch. 6] (this latter fact confirmed by other man.) - analogous case with this last in horses Thinks same law holds with mules - Concludes that both parents determine size but that male more particularly

transmits his to male & female to female. (If this be sexual size which is thus transmitted by sex, then in a cross, horns ought to go by males. - thus a short-horn bull with herefordshire cow the cross bull ought to have short-horns & reverse)

p 359 appears incidentally that Hawks do not hatch at time when food most plentiful

p 360 Accounts for greater size of male, from exhaustion in female from breeding & taking care of young; every agriculturist knows that breeding & milking checks growth of too young female

p 369 Hence in polygamous animals, where male takes no charge of young, male largest. (there appears something in this Paper) (Read his book on Generation, Bailliere)

Tom 20. M. Edwards (p 358) says of Amphipodes, that the young are born with the general form which they will have; but Rathke (in abstract Tom. 20. p 442. But Ecrevisses is not Amphipode Recherches sur le Develop. des Erivisses [Ecrevisses]) shows that though they do not assume any quite different shape, yet that all parts change much in form, viz stomach, position of anus, jaws, nervous system - & certain legs appear sometimes before others - (as much metamorphosis as in Vertebrata.)
