Abstract
Cammidge and Howard1 have published some very remarkable results concerning the genetics of hyper-glycæmia in mice. They state that their mice fell into two groups. In one of them the concentration of blood glucose, estimated by Folin and Wu's method, lay between 124 and 114 mgm. per 100 ml. In the other it lay between 88 and 74. The hyper-glycæmic condition behaved as a recessive, and was not linked with albinism.
