β¦ Synopsis
To obviate the necessity of bleaching the eye in a study of certain structural features in acalyptrate flies, an eye of a 'white' eye-mutant Drosophila was examined, and this led to the discovery that it differed from the normal eye only in the absence of pigment granules in tlie pigment cells. This aroused a n interest t o study other mutants, both color and structural.
