An analysis of multi-allelic data.
Some multi-allelic data obtained by Coyne (1976) and by Singh, Lewontin and Felton (1976) are analyzed for their compatibility with the neutral alleles theory. It is found that strict neutrality appears not to be the case, but that if further alleles were to be distinguished in the samples, neutrality could become a possible explanation.
