Abstract
It is shown that a joint scaling test developed by Tan (1974) is closely related to the widely used standard Cavalli joint scaling test (described by Mather and Jinks, 1971) which was not referred to in Tan's paper. With the numbers of individuals per generation observed in practice, the two tests give essentially similar results. The Cavalli procedure also provides estimates of genetical parameters and is more readily extended to a wider range of situations.Keywords
