Crossing experiments with common and Chinese geese. Offers CD geese if he wishes to repeat experiments.
Thanks FBG for his offer [of geese for breeding experiments] but cannot undertake anything. Suggests FBG or any friend cross half-bred birds for a few generations; it would be a valuable contribution to science.
Has changed his mind and would like some of FBG’s hybrids to breed from. Feels he should not lose the chance of perhaps recording the fertility of hybrids of two distinct species.
Sends geese to CD.
Crossbreeding of Chinese and common geese; believes they may be same species.
The geese have arrived. Does not think FBG’s view that the two forms are domestic varieties will hold good. Many ornithologists put them in different genera, and the wild type of each is known.
