The coat colors of 161 progeny from matings between 10 yellow dun and 6 blue dun stallions and mares of 8 different colors are described. The results confirm the previous hypothesis that a dominant dilution gene, D, converts bay to yellow dun with dark mane and tail, chestnut to yellow dun and dun mane and tail, and black to blue dun (mouse, grullo). The palomino gene, c cr, on the other hand, is hypostatic to black and blue dun. In heterozygous form, c cr converts bay to buckskin, and chestnut and sorrel to palomino, and results in blue-eyed white when homozygous. No particular effect of D is known in the homozygous state. Altogether 12 progeny were obtained from matings where both parents carried D; all progeny carried D, and no abnormal colors occurred.
描述了10匹黄棕毛与6匹蓝棕毛种马和8种不同毛色母马交配产生的161个后代的毛色。结果证实了之前的假设，即显性稀释基因D将枣色转变为带有深色鬃毛和尾巴的黄棕毛，将栗色转变为黄棕毛以及棕毛鬃毛和尾巴，将黑色转变为蓝棕毛（鼠色、灰马色）。另一方面，帕洛米诺基因c cr对黑色和蓝棕毛呈下位性。以杂合形式存在时，c cr将枣色转变为鹿皮色，将栗色和红棕色转变为帕洛米诺色，纯合时则产生蓝眼白色。在纯合状态下，未发现D有特殊影响。从双亲都携带D的交配中总共获得了12个后代；所有后代都携带D，且未出现异常毛色。
