1. The application of factorial design to. the testing of diets for breeding mice is described.

2. The use of a system of monogamous making, by which the females have a continuous series of pregnancies with concurrent gestation and lactation, is advocated for such tests.

3. Present indications are that a high wheat content or a high yeast content is desirable in the diet of breeding mice.

4. A diet containing a considerable proportion of full-cream milk was very effective for breeding mice, but it is not yet certain that this constituent is necessary.
