The gene ‘sex-linked anaemia’ (sla) appeared first in the progeny of a daughter of a male that had been irradiated with 500 r. of X-rays. The daughter was born one month after the irradiation of her father. Mated to an unrelated wild-type male she produced sixteen sons of which six were anaemic. Her fertility was normal. Experience in subsequent matings showed the anaemia to be rather difficult to classify. In litters examined on the day of birth the anaemic young were usually clearly distinguishable by their pale colour. But in older litters, and even in a few at birth, the classification could not be made with confidence. The haematology of the anaemics is described by Grewal (1962).
