title: The testing of dominants for heterozygoisty.
abstract: A simple method of estimating the frequency of heterozygotes among the dominants by test-making has been described; and then a maximum likelihood estimate is obtained by an iterative counting procedure. Eearly results of Haldane have been review and modified. Methods of estimating the gene frequencies, their ratio, and the inbreeding coefficient from test-mating results have also been given.
