| Abstract: | The linkage relationships between egg albumen loci Ov, II, III and Tf are examined in segregation data from backcross matings. The suggestion of close linkage between the Ov locus and locus II is confirmed. Loci II, III and Tf show evidence of very loose linkage but the data are also compatible with the loci located on different chromosomes. |
