Abstract

Males from the following strains were surveyed with respect to their hexobarbitone sleeping time: A2G, C57BR, C3H, F/st, CBA, ICFW and Schneider. Males from the same strains had previously been surveyed with respect to the inhibitory effect of mescaline on their emotional defaecation. There is a strong interstrain correlation between the 2 measures. This correlation was unexpected on theoretical grounds and may have important pharmacogenetic implications.
