Studies in the Selection for Susceptibility and Resistance to Anaphylactic Shock in Guinea Pigs

In 1927 the foundation stock for this experiment was picked at random from the guinea pig colony of the Genetics Department at Iowa State College. Since then three generations of individuals, selected both for resistance and susceptibility to protein reaction, have been obtained

An Inherited Eye Defect in the Guinea Pig

The data presented in this paper were obtained from the descendants of one defective-eyed male guinea pig that appeared in our colony several years ago. Notation was made of the defective eye, but as the male was being used in another experiment no matings were made at that time to determine whether the condition was genetic. However, when the same type of defect was later observed in the inbred descendants of this male, some matings were made to determine, if possible, the manner of inheritance of the condition
