will eventually be developed, so these problems may occur some day. If the Committee 

 on Standardized Nomenclature does promulgate rules for rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, 

 and hamsters, possibly they will also consider the potential problem of Peromyscus sp.

origin: Wild population, California, genet: c. charac: linkage 

 group I, apparently identical to albino phenotype of the laboratory 

 mouse, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 



No information available on origin, genetics, or characteristics. 

 maintained by: Bar. 



origin: No information submitted, genet: bg. charac: no informa- 

 tion submitted, maintained by: Bar. 



origin: Wild population, New Mexico, genet: b. charac: linkage 

 group IV, very similar to the cinnamon phenotype of the laboratory 

 mouse, sepia pigment granules brown, reduced in size, yellow pigment 

 granules not visibly affected, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 

 No information submitted on the origin, genetics, or characteristics. 

 maintained by: Bar. 



origin: Wild population, New Mexico, genet: d. charac: linkage 

 group IV, similar in appearance to dilute or leaden genes in the 

 laboratory mouse, variable expression, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 



origin: No information submitted, genet: e. charac: no informa- 

 tion submitted, maintained by: Bar. 



origin: Wild population, Oregon, genet: /. charac: linkage 

 group I, caudal vertebrae variously malformed, tail usually visibly 

 kinky, knobby at the end, or shortened, highly variable, no evidence of 

 associated belly spotting or anemia, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 

 origin: Wild population, New Mexico, gene frequency high in certain 

 localities, genet: g. charac: superficially resembles chinchilla in 

 the laboratory mouse, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 



origin: Wild population, California, genet: hr. charac: linkage 

 group III, very similar to hairless in the laboratory mouse, moulting 

 pattern irregular, fertility of females reduced, maintained by: 

 Bar, Mc. 



origin: Wild population, Oregon, genet: i. charac: similar to 

 albino, but hair retains a moderate amount of sepia pigment in 

 juvenile pelage, slight amount in adults, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 



origin: Laboratory stock, genet: p. charac: linkage group I, 

 apparently identical to pink eyed dilution phenotype of the laboratory 

 mouse, dilution and modification of the shape of sepia pigment 

 granules, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 



origin: Laboratory stock, genet: pt. charac: similar to dilute 

 and silver, but almost always with high-grade expression, hair bases 

 vary from gray to almost white, maintained by: Bar, Mc. 

 No information available on origin, genotype, or characteristics.
