Summary.Blood samples of 70 foxes, including 10 families, have been investigated by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for the enzymes adenosine deaminase (ADA) and mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI). The observed variation of the enzymes could be explained as a result of one locus with two codominant alleles and one with three respectively. The segregation in the families of the alleles assumed for the two loci is in accordance with this genetic model. The frequency of the two alleles at theAdalocus is about the same and the slowest anodic migrating allele at theMpilocus is the most frequent.
