Abstract Note Added in Proof to appear with the article: A Homologue of the Rabbit Kappa Chain Allotype b9 on IgG from a Cottontail Rabbit by Simonetta Landucci Tosi, Rose G. Mage, and Roberto M. Tosi appearing on page 679: Extensive studies of the phylogeny of rabbit immunoglobulin light chain markers have recently been completed by W. van der Loo, C. Hamers-Casterman and R. Hamers, and reported in a brief communication entitled, “Phylogeny of the rabbit immunoglobulin light chain markers: Distribution of determinants associated with rabbit b-locus in different lagomorph families” published in Arch. Internat. Physiol. Biochim. 89, 54, 1976. A detailed report entitled, “Investigations of the origin of the b-locus polymorphism of the rabbit kappa light chain” is contained in the D. Sc. thesis, Vrije Universiteit Brussels by Dr. W. van der Loo, 1975. Their observations are generally in accord with ours.
