XIV.—On the Quantitative Relation of Comb Size and Gonadic Activity in the Fowl
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Summary
The law of “all-or-nothing” does not hold in the case of comb volume. The comb volume in the two individuals described remained intermediate in size.
The degree of development of head furnishings is dependent not upon the amount but on the state of the gonadic tissue. It appears to be related to the spermatogenic activity of the testicular fragment.
