Eaton, Scientific Assistatit in Animal Genetics, Animal Husbandry Division,United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION Nearly all of the recognized types of monstrosities have appeared in thestock of guinea pigs maintained by the Bureau of Animal Industry forgenetic experimentation. The most abundant type, unless all thosewith leg or toe abnormahties are lumped together, has been that which. Fig. I.—Grades of otocephaly.

The most characteristic feature of these monsters is the close approachof the ears, there being in most cases but a single median opening in thethroat. There has been wide variation in the degree of defect, but allthe cases observed in our stock of guinea pigs fall practically into a single • Accepted for publication Aug. 3, 1923. • Reference is made by number (italic) to Literature cited, p. 180-181.
