A summary of tests of 255 linkage combinations are reported. Two new linkages were established as follows: Rd and v 8 (14.22% recombination; Linkage Group XIV) and Li and v 8 (10.12% recombination; Linkage Group XV). Eleven other suspected linkages are discussed, but they were either eliminated through monosomic analysis or were not adequately validated. In the latter case, current information is presented because these mutants are so difficult to manipulate that development of test populations will require several years of work.
