By hypothesis this cross is between _cJnwx_ and _CJNWx_. The first generation should give the zygotic formula _CcJ2NnWwx2_, or, more simply, _CcJ2NnWw_. This formula resembles closely that of the White Leghorn, except that the coloring and graying factors and that for supermelanism are all heterozygous and hence diluted; only the Jungle coloration remains unchanged. Actually, the first generation yielded a lot of white birds like the Leghorn, but with this difference, that, as the males became mature, they gained red on the wing-bar and to a slight extent on the lacing of the saddle. The females gained a faint blush of red on the breast. Thus red appeared, in small amount, in just those places in the respective sexes which are red in the Jungle-fowl. The explanation of its appearance that I have to suggest is that, both on account of the diluting of the supermelanic coat and of the graying factor, the red of the undiluted underlying Jungle coloration is revealed. Since the hybrids are heterozygous in respect to 3 pairs of characters, when segregation occurs each parent produces 8 kinds of gametes, as follows: _CJNW_, _CJNw_, _CJnW_, _CJnw_, _cJNW_, _cJNw_, _cJnW_, _cJnw_. When both parents produce these 8 kinds of gametes we may expect, in 64 offspring, the proportions of the several types shown in table 59.
