Joger Immunological distances were expressed as reciprocal values of precent precipitation (100 % precipitation = homologous reaction = 0 % distance). Individual antisera showed considerable variation in their capability to differentiate between heterologous albumins. This was compensated by a reciprocity adjustment procedure. The reactivity of anti- borneensis serum was used as a standard; the other antisera were corrected by multiplying their distance values by a factor calculated to give equal values in reciprocal tests with T. borneensis. Fig. 1: Comparative PAGE serum pro- tein pattern of T. bischoffi and the Canary geckos. Specific band pat- terns, combined from several indivi- duals electrophoretic runs, are shown, bis = bischoffi, hie = hierrensis, boe = boettgeri, d (T) = delalandii (Tenerife), d (P) = delalandii (Palma), gom = gomerensis. © bis hie boe d(T) d (P) gom. Results Fig. 1 shows the electrophoretic pattern of bischoffi serum in comparsion with the Canary geckos. In spite of a high overall congruence, reflecting the relatively close affinities between the species concerned (all are members of the subgenus Makariogecko Joger, 1984b), the six populations can be subdivided into two electrophoretic pattern groups, one of them consisting of bischoffi, hierrensis and boettgeri, the other of delalandii and gomerensis. This does support the assignment of bischoffi to boettgeri, though the former shows more differences from the latter than hierrensis does. The mean immunological distances derived from precipitin testing are summarized in Tab. 1. Some values gained with anti-mauritanica serum are also included, although this antiserum was no longer available for reaction with bischoffi. T. boettgeri, both from Gran Canaria and from Hierro, generally show high immunological distances from the other species, indicating a l
