Abstract
F. W. Dry, P. R. McMahon and J. A. Sutherland in a recent communication1 describe the inheritance of so-called halo-hairs (N-type) in lambs, which they found to have a multifactorial basis. N-type is, according to the authors, conditioned by a single factor dominant over the not-N-type (linked with the sex-influenced factor for horns, with crossing-over occurring about once in ten or twelve times).
