Abstract
A mathematical treatment of the distribution of hereditary particles in Paramecium when they are dividing at a different rate from that of the host cells carrying them. This distribution is applied to data on the rate of occurrence of sensitive paramecia during successive fissions after loss of the M genes, in the mate-killer (mu) strain.
