Drosophila offers the same advantages to such a study as it did to classical genetics, namely, large numbers and short generation time, to which may now be added an enormous store of accumulated knowledge concerning the organism.

It is shown that the result is explicable when the characteristics concerned have very low heritabilities, and that the migrants came from genetically improving populations, meaning by ‘improvement’ simply that these populations were changing in the direction for which they were being selected.

The design and construction of two multiple Y-unit mazes are described which will permit time assessment of the mean and variance of phototactic behavior in Drosophila populations, and an analysis of the behavior of the selected and unselected strains shows the interaction of the environmental and genetic influences.

The phototactic scores of F1 and F2 progeny resulting from reciprocal matings between flies from positive and negativePhototactic strains are compatible with the hypothesis that the responsible genes are largely located in the autosomes and suggest that the bulk of the genes for positive geotactic behavior occur in a region of the X chromosome not readily separated by crossing over.
