Abstract: A quandle is a self-distributive algebraic structure that appears in quasi-group and knot theories. For each abelian group A and c in A we define a quandle G(A, c) on �_3 imes A. These quandles are generalizations of a class of non-medial Latin quandles defined by V. M. Galkin so we call them Galkin quandles. Each G(A, c) is connected but not Latin unless A has odd order. G(A, c) is non-medial unless 3A = 0. We classify their isomorphism classes in terms of pointed abelian groups, and study their various properties. A family of symmetric connected quandles is constructed from Galkin quandles, and some aspects of knot colorings by Galkin quandles are also discussed.
