‘Dear Prof. Pearson,
It was not possible to answer yr. question at once about the dogs, whether other data than colour are procurable, but I now find they are not. I went on Monday to Sir E.

They only contain a notice of the colour, in addition to the ordinary facts [as] to registration wh: are published in the stud book. Neither does he think it feasible to get more, doubting greatly whether the breeders would be accurate or take the necessary trouble. He himself at one time attempted to get fuller records, but that attempt failed.
The colour statistics give me a great amount of valuable data which I am busy discussing and hope soon to complete.
