PLEASE DON"T OPEN THE BOTTLE) 1 piece cinnabar 1 copy of Artists' Pigments, for the Gettens et al. article (a copy of Cennini can be found with my "St. George" shield, in the Fine Arts category; copies of Pliny and Theophilus can be found with my silver entry, in the Alchemy category) A piece of cinnabar collected by a friend and on display at the McLaughlin Mine, Napa Co., CA (It's a lot prettier than most of my samples) The first known mention of mercuric sulfide as a mineral is in Theophratus's Lapidary. Theophrastus called it cinnabar, which is the name still in use today. The Romans called it minium, and it was so valuable as a red pigment that the Roman government made it a nationalized monopoly and regulated the price.1 It does need to be said that the Romans used the name minium for any high-quality mineral red, regardless of whether it was cinnabar or hematite.2 Minium was being adultrated with "red lead" as early as Imperial Rome, though it is difficult to determine whether Pliny meant red litharge or lead carbonate. Adulteration continued until the name shifted, and came to mean just red lead by Early Gothic. 3, 4 1 Pliny, Book XXXIII: sections XXXVI-XLI, using the Loeb numbering system. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 4 Though historians would quibble about this, I tend to prefer to the art history divisions of history rather than the academic history divisions.

  • A Third Sex-Linked Lethal Factor in Drosophila T
    A THIRD SEX-LINKED LETHAL FACTOR IN DROSOPHILA T. H. MORGAN Department of ZoBlogy, Columbia University THREE FIGURES In an experiment (reported in the Jour. Exp. Zool., page 390, November, 1911) in which three sex-linked characters were in- volved, namely, white eyes, vermilion eyes and miniature wings, certain results were obtained involving double crossing-over. The more recent results indicate that double crossing-over was excessive in this experiment.l A white miniature male had been mated to a vermilion pink (‘orange’) female. The daughters were wild type (red, long) and the sons vermilion (long). The two sex- chromosomes of these daughters contain respectively the genes for white (w), red (V), and miniature (m); and for red (W), and vermilion (v), and long (M). All later work has shown the order of the genes here involved is white, vermilion, miniature, as shown in diagram 1. On this basis, the results of the previous experiment in terms of cross-overs would be as follows: Total Per cent Non-cross-overs (vermilion and ver. pink males) 333 74.7 Single cross-overs between white and vermilion (min. and min. pink males). 81 18.2 Single cross-overs between vermilion and min. (verm. min. and ver. min. pink males). 11 2.4 Double cross-overs (wild type and pink males). 21 4.7 Instead of giving fewer double cross-overs than singles, accord- ing to expectation, the number of doubles was twice that of singles, and for numbers as large as these this difference cannot be due to 1 In the analysis on page 392 the large C in ‘sperm no X’ should be small c.

  • Genetics and Cytology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila Subobscura
    GENETICS AND CYTOLOGY OF DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA III. TRANSPLANTATION OF EYE-BUDS BETWEEN DROSOPHILA SUBOBSGURA AND DROSOPtlILA MELANOGASTER By J. M. RENDEL, National A~imal B,reeding Research Organization% Institute of Animal Genetics; Edinburgh, AND A. C. E. SULEY, Department of Biomet'ry, University Oollege, London There are in Drosophila subobscura four bl'ight red eye-colour mutants, vermilio~ (chromo- some I, sex-linked), scarlet (chr. II), poppy (chr. IV), and cherry (chr. u An attempt is being made to homologize some of these, and certain other genes, with genes in D. melanogaster, where the phenotypically similar genes, vermilion, cinnabar, cardinal and scarlet do not behave identically in transplantation experiments. As the method depends on the work of Ephrussi & Beadle, the points in their results with D. mclanogaster relevant to this work will be briefly summarized (see Table 1). Implants from larvae of most eye-colour mutants are autonomous with respect to their colour developed in wild-type hosts. But implants from vermilion and cinnabar develop the browner colour of the wild-type host's eye. A genetically vermilion eye also develops the wild-type colour in a cinnabar host, though cinnabar in vermilion is autonomous. Ephrussi & Beadle therefore suggested that two diffusible substances essential to the development of the brown pigment were supplied by the wild-type host. The vermilion mutant lacks one, the v+ substance, which has since been shown to be kymtrenine, and cinnabar lacks the cn+ substance. The behaviour of the reciprocal transplants between the two mutants suggests that the v+ substance is the precursor of the cn + substance.

Scientific review, however, does not constitute an endorsement of the Seafood Watch program or its recommendations on the part of the reviewing scientists. Seafood Watch is solely responsible for the conclusions reached in this report. We always welcome additional or updated data that can be used for the next revision. Seafood Watch and Seafood Reports are made possible through a grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. 2 Final Seafood Recommendation Although there are many snappers caught in the U.S., only the three most commercially important species relative to landed weight and value (red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens), and yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) are discussed here. This report discusses snapper caught in the South Atlantic (SA) and Gulf of Mexico (GOM) by vertical gear types including hydraulic/electric reel, rod and reel, and handline. Snapper caught by bottom longline in the GOM and SA will not be discussed since it makes up a statistically insignificant proportion of the total snapper catch in the GOM and in the SA bottom longline fishing in waters shallower than 50 fathoms, where snapper are generally caught, is prohibited.

I had not only employed the usual formula in my own work but had found no difficulty worth mentioning in under- standing the formula used by most other workers in Mendelian fields. My experience with students in elementary courses in genetics had not prepared me for the idea that such formula were particularly difficult. Nevertheless I believe in simplifying the formule if some system can be found that will be applicable to all sorts of Mendelian inheritance.

  • Effort to Obtain Data of This Nature in Regard to the Process of Eye of The
    THE EYE-PIGMENTARY SYSTEM OF DROSOPHILA VIII. SERIES OF MULTIPLE ALLELES D. J. NOLTE Deportment of Zoology, University of the Witwatersrond Received3.vi.58 THE study of multiple alleles at a locus is of prime importance for research on the theory of the gene—its qualitative and quantitative effects and the relationship between function and mutation. In an effort to obtain data of this nature in regard to the process of eye pigmentation in Drosophila melanogaster nine series of multiple alleles, that is, at the loci of scarlet, vermilion, cinnabar, brown, pink, carna- tion, garnet, raspberry and prune, were investigated for the histology of the four eye-pigment regions and the spectrophotometric properties of the red and brown pigments. These methods have been fully described (Nolte, 1952,1954).These multiple alleles consisted of the following :—scarlct (st) and scarlet-spotted (st'P) ; vermilion (v) and vermilion361 (v361) ; cinnabar (en) and cinnabar3sk (cn3sk) ; brown (bw), brownzb (bw2b), brown-dominant (bwD) and brown4 (bw4); pink (p) and pink-peach (pv) ; carnation (car) and carnationz (carz) garnet (g), garnetz (g2), garnet3 (g3) and garnet4 (g4) ; raspberry (ras), raspberryz (rasz) and raspberry3 (ras3) ; prune (pn) and prune2 (pnz). 2.OBSERVATIONS (I)Phenotype Themacroscopic phenotypes of some of these alleles, in the stocks maintained in this laboratory, differ somewhat from the descriptions as given by Bridges and Brehme (i44), as will duly be noted. The eye-colour of st3 is very like that of the wild-type, with perhaps a pitted effect, i.e., small dark spots, but is not speckled; the combina- tion stsP/st is bright red and not speckled.

  • Observations on Eye-Colour Development In
    OBSEI~VATIONS ON EYE-COLOUP~ DEVELOPMENT IN DROSOPHILA PSE UDO-OBSCURA :BY FLORA COCHI~ANE (I~stit,ttte of Animal Genetics, U~dversity qf Edinbu,~yh) (With One Text-figure) IN the course of three papers Crew and Lamy (1932, 193~t, 1935) have described[ five mutant eye colours of Drosophila pseudo-obscura, namely three allelomorphs of purple, eosin and sepia, and five combinations of these with vermilion and one with orange. They have suggested an hypothesis (1935) for explaining the combined action of eye-colour genes with reference to the time of deposition of pigments during pupal life. They believe that each gene influences eye-eolour development at a time characteristic for itself, and that each gene produces its effect inde- pendently of the others, and hence that the effect of the presence of several genes is cumulative. There is, properly speaking, no real inter- action between genes, and no modification of effects. As the observations on which this hypothesis was based were admittedly superficial, these authors have suggested that a detailed study of developing pupal eyes should be made. In a recent paper Jack Schultz (1935) tabulates the colour changes in the pupal development of the different eye-colour types of Drosophila. In most respects the present findings on Drosophilc~ l)seudo-obscu~'a, are in agreement with Schultz; in some they differ. Although he does not mention a species, i~ is assumed that Schultz made his observations on Drosophila 'mela,nogaster, and that the differences pointed out in this paper are specific ones. Flies for this study were obtained from the stocks used by Crew and Lamy.
