SYNOPSIS. Novel serotypes appeared among the F 2 progeny of a single cross involving alleles at the H locus. Two of the clones manifesting aberrant types have been subjected to breeding analysis. The aberrant phenotypes disappear at conjugation and have not been recovered in either F 1 or F 2 . Comparable types have not been found again in large scale crosses involving a variety of different H alleles. The basis for the unusual types remains obscure.
