COVER
Extremely rare tyrosinase-negative al-bino cat (cc) which completely lacksmelanin pigmentation. Homozygous al-binos (cc) and normally pigmented catswhich carry the recessive allele fortyrosinase-negative albinism (Cc) ex-hibit congenital visual system defects.One to 2 percent of the human Popua-tion carries a recessive allelenism.

and Research on Pheromoneslitorial was written in response to the stimulus of an interestingrm on pheromones and to stories in the media about a large-scalen of gypsy moths in northeastern United States. The symposium,e annual meeting of the AAAS, dealt with some of the currentof research on the physiology and regulation of pheromones.*,m of the participants was contagious and led to a scan of some ofure and to a telephone stroll to tap the knowledge and judgment of'he leaders in the field.the past 20 years, more than 1000 insect sex attractants have beenMany have been synthesized in the laboratory and tested. The

Sometimes both enantiomers of a compound are employed, butases a racemic mixture is ineffective.rly enthusiasm about the use of pheromones to control insectns has dwindled. Although there is a consensus that pheromonestent baits for traps, their successful application has been largelyto monitoring, for which they are highly useful. Experience withmoth in the Northeast is illustrative. In the area of maximum
