Abstract

Chromosomal differentiation in isolated regions has progressed to a marked degree. An extreme case of non-random association of inversions in the left and right arms of chromosome II is recorded. Although there is non-random distribution of the inversions between chromosomes, they are not restricted to only one chromosome. There is marked non-random association of inversions within two chromosomes.
