Excerpt from Studies of Inheritance in Rabbits Lop-eared rabbits are distinguished from ordinary ones chiefly by the enormous size of their ears, which are so large as to hang down, touching the ground on either side of the head. (see plate 1, fig. 2, and plate 2, fig. This breed of rabbit is characterized also by a long tail and unusual Size, being one of the largest breeds known. The characters of large Size and long tail, however, have probably not been sought for their own sake, but have been incidentally obtained in the production of the breed as a result of selection for ears of large size; for among lop-cared rabbits, as a rule, those of the largest size have longest ears.

Excerpt from Genetic Studies of Rabbits and Rats The analysis of such genetic differences is difficult. A pioneer attempt was made by Galton (1889) in his study of human stature, the inheritance of which he characterized as blending. This term was adopted by Castle et al. (1909) in describing the inheritance of ear-length and body-size in rabbits. A Mendelian interpretation of size-inheritance was later advocated by Lang based on the multiple-factor hypothesis of nilsson-ehle and this has now received general acceptance. Davenport (1917) has recently applied it to human stature, but has gone a step farther in assuming that the genetic factors which govern Size in one part of the body are often not the same as those which govern the size of other parts. Punnett and Bailey (1914, 1918) in their studies of size-inheritance in poultry and in rabbits bring forward a different hypothesis.
