Parentage.—This gynandromorph appeared in F2 from the cross of rudimentary female to white miniature male; that is, the mother (F, female) carried rudimentary in one X and white and miniature in the other; and the father was a rudimentary (Fi) male. Description.—The individual seemed to be male through- out. Both eyes were red. Sex-combs were present on both forelegs. The right wing was long, and though slightly deformed, was undoubtedly wild-type. The left wing was a typical and perfect miniature rudimentary wing. The abdomen was entirely male, and when mated to a vermilion female the fly bred as a male, producing abundant offspring. Several pairs of the wild-type daugh- ters and vermilion sons of this mating were bred and all produced red and vermilion in equal numbers, both in males and females. That is, the gynandromorph bred as a wild- type male carrying no mutant genes. Two of the F2 pairs are given as samples:. Text-figure 48. Wild-type 9 Wild-type (f Vermilion 9 Vermilion cT B.

Explanations.—Simple elimination fails to explain this case, because the characters of the fly, as well as its genetic behavior, show that it received two different X chromosomes from its mother. For instance, miniature and rudimentary were both present in the left (
