Summary A starch gel electrophoretic technique has been described which utilized a pH 8.9 Tris‐citrate gel buffer and facilitated the resolution of a new serum esterase zone of fowl. This zone was shown to be controlled by allele Es C , the third in the series Es A , Es B , and Es C . Allelic frequencies were determined in five egg‐type strains and seven meat‐type strains. Es A was predominant in egg‐type birds while Es B was the most frequent allele in meat‐type birds.
