title: SEX-LINKED ALBINISM IN THE JAPANESE QUAIL.
abstract: From a single white Coturnix chick hatched in August 1963, a white colony has been developed. The results of breeding experiments are consistent with the view that the albinism is sex-linked and recessive. It appears likely that the mutation occurred in the first white female hatched, or her sire.
