Abstract

In a series of investigations, Massopust describes various effects he obtained with an invisible radiation which he called infra-red. The results he obtained seemed to indicate that this radiation might have some effect on development and growth. Hence, the Drosophila Melanogaster was chosen for experimentation to ascertain whether or not the invisible radiation he used would produce mutations. Personal communications from this author disclosed that up to the present writing he has not been able to establish definitely that the radiation lies somewhere in the infra-red band of the electro-magnetic field. He does, however, favor the interpretation that it is infra-red, in spite of the fact that many of the results he has obtained in unpublished experiments do not conform to those attributed to infra-red. In this manuscript, this radiation will be referred to as infra-red.
