(1) Significantly higher levels of scent-marking indicated by bold italics.
(2) Statistical comparisons as in Table 2.
(3) Percent of animals showing behavior at any time during test. Home rats showed significantly more rub-against-cage than did interuder (X²=8.7 p < .01).
(4) Percentage of animals showing > .02 grams/day accumulation of marking substance.
