Abstract

The discovering of the genetic value of Drosophila salivary gland chromosomes by Painter, Heitz, and Bauer in 1934 posed a problem of technique to the microtomist that is still being improved upon and widened. The staining of these chromosomes fer better study and to determine their properties, both chemical and physical, has been the object of intense research. This paper is the result of my work in connection with this subject.
