Abstract
IN chromatograms prepared from various Drosophila organs and from whole flies, seven different ultra-violet fluorescent substances have been described1,2. The concentrations of these substances were shown to vary in different mutant stocks of the fly. Flies carrying recessive mutants in the heterozygous state could be distinguished from wild-type homozygotes on the basis of their fluorescence patterns3,4.
