A set of intuitively obvious properties of a coefficient of similarity for binary data is established. Critical examination of the coefficients available from the literature shows that none of them satisfy all these properties, and a new coefficient is proposed to obviate this inconvenience. The distribution of the new coefficient is studied on very large, perfectly random samples of OTU''s [operational taxonomic units], and a table is constructed to show its critical values at different significance levels. A mathematical appendix is given to demonstrate the procedure used to construct perfectly random samples of different size.
