Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies of Heredity in Rabbits, Rats, and Mice
In some Wild mammals the white-spotting is more extensive, taking the form of a definite pattern, as in skunks, the harp-seal, and the Malay tapir. The color pattern of skunks, while characteristic, is known to vary slightly, the value Of a pelt increasing with the amount of black which it contains, a fact which the incipient industry of skunk-farming in the United States notes with interest. Selective breeding is being directed toward the establishment of all-black strains and no doubt it will ultimately be successful.
