Abstract
ALTHOUGH the exact number of factors concerned in the inheritance of susceptibility to pulmonary tumours in the house-mouse is still unknown, experiments by various workers1–4 have suggested the presence of one major factor in linkage group VII: this factor is here termed Tm.

The following is a preliminary report of the results of the first experiments in the series.
