DHILLON, T. S., and E. D. GARBER. (U. Chicago, Chicago, Ill.) The genus Collinsia. XVI. Super. numerary chromosomes. Arner, Jour. Bot. 49(2): 168-170. 1%2.-The pairing and transmission of supernumerary chromosomes in Collinsia solitaria and in hybrids between C. sparsiflora subsp.arvensis and C. bruceae were studied. Two supernumerary chromosomes usually formed a bivalent with 1 chiasma at metaphase I; 4 supernumerary chromosomes occasionally yielded a trivalent and univalent at this stage. Plants with 2-4 supernumerary chromosomes were fertile and plants with .5--8, sterile. Plants with a given number of supernumerary chromosomes when used as seed or pollen parent gave gametes with a higher number of such chromosomes.
