Abstract
In the course of the investigation reported in the previouspaper we examined for the presence of agglutinins when thenormal sera of horse, donkey, and mule are tested with theblood of these same animals. The same question is dealt within a recent communication by Walsh (1). His results and conclusionsdiffer from ours in some important points.
In our opinion the subject is not largely connected with theproblem of the inheritance of species-specific properties, sincemost of the reactions observed have the character of isoagglutininreactions and have therefore nothing to do with species-differences.For the same reason these studies are related to the veryinteresting work of von Dungern and Hirschfeld (2), Epsteinand Ottenberg (3, 4), and others on the heredity, in humanbeings, of isoagglutinable substances which were found to followthe Mendelian laws.
