We have pre- viously shown that Lap-1'^ is the predomi- nant allele in C. bendalli near Pongo Carpet and Snake Cay (Gould et al., 1974; Wood- ruff, 1975). In these populations a slower allele (previously designated Lap-1'') oc- curred at a frequency of up to Now we report finding a third allele of inter- mediate mobility in Cerion from Grand Ba- hama and southern Great Abaco (Table 13, Fig. 15). For consistency, the newly dis- covered allele is now designated Lap-1'^; the designation of the slowest allele is ac- cordingly changed to Lap-l''. Lap-1=* is the common allele throughout the Little Bahama Bank: it varies in fre- quency and is typically over (range: ). Lap-1'^' is also widespread. Its absence in a few samples is presumably due to sampling error. No particular biological significance is attached to the minor inter- population variation in frequency of this allele. The third allele, Lap-1'', is known from 5 localities in western Grand Bahama and from 6 localities at the southern end of Great Abaco. It reaches its highest fre- quency in the interior of the pine forest on Grand Bahama and in "pure" C. abacoense from Hole-in-the-Wall on Great Abaco. Lap-1'' was detected from 4 to 5 localities at The Crossing where it has a frequency of about Esterase-2. Woodiuff (1975) first de- tected variation at this non-specific esterase locus in C. bendalli from Loc. 243 near.
