Nei and Tajima (1985) recently have criticized my algorithms (Templeton 1983a, 19833) that make phylogenetic inference from restriction-site maps. The purpose of this letter is to address their criticisms and to examine the reasons for our difference of opinion concerning the range of validity of my algorithms. These points will also be illustrated by a worked example using Hawaiian Drosophila. Nei and Tajima (1985) have suggested that my discrimination between two primate phylogenies (Templeton 19833) might be statistically flawed if the data included a double counting of some restriction sites. Overlap could arise owing to enzymes with multiple recognition sequences that include the recognition sequences of single cutters. However, in generating the scores used to test these hypotheses (table 2 of Templeton 19833), I used only the novel informative patterns revealed by the mutiple cutters. No site was counted twice. Hence, the concern raised by Nei and Tajima does not apply.The primary criticism of Nei and Tajima concerns the range of validity of the algorithms. I have concluded (Templeton 19838) that the algorithms are valid if the average substitution rate (1) times the time of divergence (t) is-~ 0.05. Nei and Tajima (1985) argue that the much smaller value of 0.01 is necessary. They justi fy this smaller ht value on the basis of two theoretical arguments. The first concerns the difficulty, in the absence of outgroup data, of distinguishing a single convergent ga in of restriction sites from a double loss.(fig. 3 of Nei and Tajima [19851 and associat ed text). However, the criticized algorithms were explicitly limited to data with an outgro up (Templeton 1983b). Hence, this theoretical objection lies outside the inference domai n delimited by me (Templeton 1983b) and is therefore completely irrelevant to the validity of the 0.05 ht criterion.
