The Linkage of Eight Sex-Linked Characters in DROSOPHILA VIRILIS.

The present paper deals with eight sex-linked mutant characters that have arisen in my cultures of Drosophila virilis Sturtevant.l The eight characters are as follows: Yellow, body color. Magenta, eye color. Glazed, eye surface (figure 5). Forked, bristles on the thorax (figure 2). Vesiculated, wings. Rugose, eye surface (figure 4). Frayed, bands on the abdomen (figures 3 and 6). Hairy, eye surface (figure 7) .
