Abstract
1. Seven albino individuals occurred unexpectedly in the offspring of blond ring-doves, which the writer has reared being convinced to be genetically pure, the first albino hatched in November 1930, and the last one in July 1931. The albino individuals are of same size as the blond ring-doves or the white ones, of snow-white plumage, and with pink eyes; they differ from white ring-doves in colour, which have dark eyes and are white in plumage, but have very light cream-coloured neck-mark and light grey spotted tail-feathers. (Plate 1).
