✦ Synopsis

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to examine genetic variation in Procyon lotor from six states in the southeastern United States. Allozymic variation of 12 genetic loci was analyzed from nine populations of P. totor. Five loci were found to be polymorphic with the remaining seven loci being fixed for the same gene in all populations. Mean heterozygosity (H ~-1.4%) was found to be relatively low for a mammal. In all samples examined, one or two loci were major contributors to the observed heterozygosity. P. lotor was found to be genetically homogeneous over that portion of the range investigated.
