Review text

The author continues the work of two previous papers on the variational behavior, over a large number of generations, of a Wright-Fisher process modelling an even larger reproducing population. It is shown that a process subject to random drift and gamete selection follows in similar circumstances a path which is, apart from critical cases, a Jacobian elliptic function.
