Abstract
The introduction of radium and X-ray treatment for experimental methods in genetics has been of very great advantage to this science and it will probably still be so for many years to come. So far I could only trace experiments with Drosophila in connection with the influence of radium and of X-rays on the phenomenon of crossing-over. Again the investigations concerned the first and the second chromosomes. Mavor (70) began these experiments on the first chromosome and particularly on the section we-m (eosine-miniature). A white-eyed normal-winged female was crossed with an eosine-miniature male.
