An infinite population practising a constant amount of selfing and random mating is studied. The effects of the mating system on two linked loci with an arbitrary number of neutral alleles are determined. Expressions are obtained for the two-locus descent measure, and hence genotypic frequencies and disequilibria functions, in any generation. The nature of the equilibrium population is deduced. The special cases of pure selfing or pure random mating and completely linked or completely unlinked loci are considered separately.
