Abstract

A recombinational and cytogenetical analysis is reported of a new locus,sparse arista (sa), located immediately to the left ofwhite in salivary gland chromosome band 3Cl. The general problem of the cytogenetic localization of genes to giant chromosome bands is discussed. A bristle effect previously attributed to gene(s) located in band 3Cl is discussed in the light of the findings reported here.
