A family of distributions labelled as Poisson v Katz is formulated, which includes, as particular or limiting cases, the Negative Binomial, Neyman Type A, Poisson v Pascal, and Poisson v Binomial. Thus, while analyzing data, estimating the parameters in the Poisson v Katz family obviates the necessity of having to choose from among the particular or limiting cases. In this article minimum chi-square estimators are presented and their asymp¬totic relative efficiency obtained. An example is presented to illustrate the procedure
