Abstract
In a note in Nature of September 61, A. J. Bateman gives an interesting estimate of the number of S-alleles in a freely interbreeding population of self-incompatible plants, using the data of the late R. D. Williams2. In one sample of 25* plants, 36 alleles had occurred once only and 7 twice, while in a sample of 22 from a second variety, 38 had occurred once and 3 twice.
