Abstract
‘McGILL RED’ is a wild strain of T. confusum maintained by me for some thirty years. ‘McGill Black’ is a jet black mutation which arose in the wild strain in 1950. The life-histories of both strains have been described by H. M. Slatis and me1. In the spring of 1960 another black mutation which may be called for convenience ‘Slough Black’ was received from the Pest Infestation Laboratory at Slough. An extensive programme of research has been under way to study the genetics of ‘Slough Black’ in relation to ‘McGill Black’ and ‘McGill Red’.
