Abstract
Some enzymes of the E. foetida musculo-cutaneous sac were studied by e lectrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel in samples from six remote region s of the range. Polymorphism was found in the electrophoretic spectra of peroxidase, leucine aminopeptidase, phosphoglucomutase and octanol dehydrogenase, which can be considered as genetically determined co-do minant systems. All samples can be divided in two groups differing gua litatively in the composition of alleles; north-western and south-east ern groups. The samples within the groups are markedly heterogenous by the frequency of alleles of the studied loci, which refers every samp le to an individual genetically isolated population.
