Several studies of rats susceptible to stomach lesions (2, 3 ) have indicated that such animals differ from normal animals on a number of behavioral and physiological variables. The following is a report of the findings with regard to a behavioral measure of dominance and relative weight loss in stomach lesionsusceptible and stock Sprague-Dawley animals following 24 hr. of water deprivation. METHOD Ss were selected from among 41 lesion-susceptible animals of the 6th generation (24 males and 17 females) and 34 Sprague-Dawley albino rats (28 males and 6 females), 60 to 85 days of age at the beginning of the study. Fourteen of the stomach lesion-susceptible animals (9 males and 5 females) were matched for sex and weight with 14 of the stock animals (9 males and 5 females). All animals were then deprived of water for 24 hr. All animals were again weighed after 24 hr. of water deprivation, and each pair of animals (one lesion-susceptible and one stock Sprague-Dawley, matched for initial weight and sex) was placed into a small cage similar to the home cages with a standard watering bottle on the door. Each pair of animals was left in the cage for 10 min. and a cumulative record was kept of the amount of time each animal controlled the water spout. Recording was done by means of two hand-operated electrical timers each of which had a sweep second hand reading to .01 sec. Prior ro being placed on the dominance test situation, animals in one group were marked with India ink for identification purposes
