Für die Merkmale der Hülsenform, Hülsenfarbe und Blüthenstellung wurden ebenfalls Versuche im Kleinen angestellt und ganz gleich stimmende Resultate erhalten.
For the traits of pod-shape, pod-colour and flower position experiments were carried out on a small scale too, and results quite in tune with the above were obtained.

on a small scale = im Kleinen Literally, this means “in the small”. Since Mendel is already engaging in what he calls “detail-experiments” (see p. 3, s. 7), we interpret this, in line with Bateson and Sherwood, as referring to the size of experiments in terms of the number of individual plants involved.

in tune with the above = gleich stimmend Stimmend is derived from the German stimmen, which means to tune.
