Abstract
A statistical method based on the principle of nearest neighbours has been used to test the form of the distribution of pores in egg shells of the domestic fowl. It has been shown that the distribution in areas covering 1 cm2 is in almost every case non‐random and tends towards uniformity and away from aggregation. Nevertheless, the distribution does not remotely approach perfect uniformity.Keywords
