The gene for wavy coat (wv) is shown to assort independently of the albino (c), brown (b), hooded pattern (h) and pink-eyed dilution (p) genes. The c and p genes, known to be in linkage group I, were observed to show a recombination value of 19.9 \_+ 3.3 per cent.

โฆ Synopsis
The present status of research on genetic linkage is reviewed. Where possible, the data are statistically combined to give consolidated estimates of the recombination value. Ten groups of Iinked genes have been determined. The first assignments of linkage groups to specific chromosomes have been facilitated by inter-species cell hybridisation.

Data are reported and analyzed from intercrosses between laboratory rats heterozygous for albinism (c) and for a structural gene (designated Hbb) determining the hemoglobin polymorphism previously reported in this species. The two loci are shown to be closely linked, with a map distance of about 5 c
