Summary Evidence is presented for the occurrence of a second allele in the albumin system of the donkey ( Equus asinus ). Samples were collected from 127 feral donkeys in four locations within the Panamint Mountains of Death Valley National Monument, California. A common phenotype, electrophoretically characterized by a single band, was recorded from all four locations. A rare, double‐band phenotype was recorded from two locations.
