baudhAyana dharmasUtra 1.8:


चत्वारो वर्णा ब्राह्मण -क्षत्रिय -विट् -शूद्राः ॥तेषां वर्ण -अनुपूर्व्येण चतस्रो भार्या ब्राह्मणस्य ॥तिस्रो राजन्यस्य ॥
द्वे वैश्यस्य ॥
एका शूद्रस्य ॥
तासु पुत्राः सवर्ण -अनन्तरासु सवर्णाः ॥
एकान्तर -द्व्यन्तरास्वम्बष्ठ -उग्र -निषादाः ॥
प्रतिलोमास्वायोगव -मागध -वैण -क्षत्तृ -पुल्कस -कुक्कुट -वैदेहक -चण्डालः ॥

A rough translation:
The four varnas are brAhmaNa, kSatriya, vaizya and zudra.A brAhmaNa can have a wife from all four varnas, a kSatriya - a wife from three varnas etc
The children from the wife of the same varna and the adjoining varna have the same varna as the father. (e.g. the child born to a brAhmaNa man and kSatriya woman is a brAhmaNa)
