Mr. Huxley Limited his subject to the determination of sex, which, apart from its practical interest, was a meeting-point of cytology and genetics, zoology, em- bryology and physiology. Mendelian research, he said, had shown most of the 10 LET-4for period of months, 1st of
hereditary constitution of an animal or plant to consist of actual chemical Parties
the hereditary factors or genes. It was almost certain that these were lodged in the chromosomes of the nucleus, where each had its appointed station. When the time for reproduction ap. proached, the chromosomes arranged themselves in pairs, And, before Fertiliza tion, each gamete or:
sexual cell, by reducing division, was left with only one member of each pair. The union of the male and female, gametes the essen tial act of fertilization, restored the proper number of chromosomes, half emming
each from machinery provided for the, mingling of the parental and maternal characters in the offspring, and operated so that it could, seldom happen that two children received precisely the same allotment of charac ters from father and mother,
parent.
THE HIGHER ANIMALE.
This
It was probable that, in the higher animals at least, the sex was determined at the actual moment of fertilization. Human twins were usually unlike as any two children of the same family, and in there circumstances they might be of identical or of different sexes. Bat sometimes they were almost indistinguish- able, in which case they were always of the same sex, and evidenes from the fcetal membrane pointed to their being the product of single fertilized egg-

In an armadillo, four young were always SHANGHAI OFFICE: produced at a birth; they were of the saale sex, and the membranes showed that they were all four the product of a single
egg.
In the case of insects and some other animals, there was evidence that the male had one chromosome less than the female. If, as was now supposed, this extra chromosome was the carrier of sex, then the determination of sex followed the determination of many other characters as worked out by Mendelian experi- ments. This suggested the possibility that it some means were found of induc Ing the casting out of "the additional chromosome, the eex ratio might be arti
modified.
The experiment bad actually been made in the case of a miatky where it was found that the proportion of males was markedly increased by ex- posure to high temperature during the reduction division, or by causing the rotention of the eggs in the Body of the female for an abnormally long time.
There was at least a suggestion that a similar influence on the determination of sex could be produced in birds by altering the chemical metabolism Active metabolim led to small eggs, and in these the additional chromosome was usually retained, leading to a high pro portion of males The normal addi- tional chromosome arrangement was de signed so na to give an equal proportion of the sexes, but science was approaching the stage at which it could modify the normal arrangement and so suit the sex ratio to its wishen
