Abstract
IN an inbred line containing no hair-waving factors, but segregating for polydactyly (py), leaden (ln), and jerker (je), mating 19/291 threw one phenoltypically wavy animal (19/291.488b). She appeared in the first litter and was classified as py ln je. As there is no source of this combination of factors in the Department other than line 19, her genotype precludes the possibility of accidental misplacement from some other wavy-bearing stock.
