Abstract

The data presented in this paper were obtained from the descendants of one defective-eyed male guinea pig that appeared in our colony several years ago. Notation was made of the defective eye, but as the male was being used in another experiment no matings were made at that time to determine whether the condition was genetic. However, when the same type of defect was later observed in the inbred descendants of this male, some matings were made to determine, if possible, the manner of inheritance of the condition.
