%X Natural selection against extreme metric deviation is a process which is known to lead to the elimination of genetic variability in the particular quantitative character concerned. Recurrent mutation at loci affecting the character will be expected to oppose this tendency to genetic fixation, and the resulting equilibrium situation is discussed in detail in this paper.
