If we assume three independent factors tor build, it does aol follow that these are present in all families. Just as it has been demon- strated that in different strains of mice there arc m BOD . m.

In certain families the distribution <A build in the progeny is best accounted for on the hypothesis that, in such fa mi lie-. th be only one gametic factor for build.
