A cross of eight inbred lines of albino mice was made in order to construct a heterogeneous sample representative of the laboratory species. An experiment incorporating the factors of light, noise, arena size, sex and days was performed using an open‐field test standardized on the rat. The results obtained were compared with previous findings on inbred lines and F 1 s. Ambulation was markedly affected by most independent variables, whilst defaecation seemed less sensitive in relation to them. The utility of multiple crosses of inbred lines is discussed
