Abstract
The difficulties of applying correction factors to eliminate non-genetic variance in selective breeding work are discussed. The use of a second character as an index of environmental change is explored and related to the general formula for selection indices. Tibia length and body weight in mice are used to demonstrate points made in the theoretical discussions of the first part of the paper.
