A comparison has been made of growth and reproductive performance of the albino rat during three periods in the history of the colony at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. A gradual increase in rate of growth has been noted during the entire 25 years. This increase was very marked when a change of ration was made in 1931. The improved growth rate has been accompanied by superior reproductive performance.

1 The expenses of this investigation were shared by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Manuscript received 26 June 1935.
