The effect of fertility differences between homogamous and heterogamous matings are considered. The equilibria are evaluated and their stability deterimined. Completely positive and completely negative assortative mating with two and with three forms, are investigated as special cases of the above fertility structure. In these cases convergence of the genotype frequencies has beer demonstrated.
