Tóm tắt

A mosaic black-blue and white Dutch rabbit is reported. The condition was not transmitted to any of his 144 offspring. The possibility of the presence of genes controlling pigmentation in normally white areas is discussed, as also is the tendency for somatic instability being increased through inbreeding.
