Abstract
IN the meiosis of species hybrids we are accustomed to finding abnormalities which are due to structural differences, abnormalities such as failure of pairing of chromosomes. There are also instances in which the genotypic upset in the hybrid gives rise to an abnormal course of meiosis, usually likewise causing a failure of pairing, for example, Drosophila pseudoobscura1. In a cross between two grasshopper species, Chorihippus bicolor Charp. and Ch. biguttulus L., which I have succeeded in obtaining experimentally as well as in Nature, I have found an example of genotypic abnormality which shows itself acutely for the first time during the anaphase separation of the normally paired chromosomes.
