Descripción: The study of chromosome structure and behaviour antedates by several decades the establishment of genetics on a scientific basis. Beginning, inevitably, as a purely descriptive discipline, chromosome cytology has in recent years expanded and branched until it promises to play an important part in the integration of many fields of scientific investigation. Already it has invaded such subjects as molecular physics and protein chemistry, and made a start, however small, in the interpretation of genetical and embryological observations in chemical terms. With the improvement of present methods of investigation, and the development of new tecnniques, we may look hopefully for great advances along these lines. The present investigation is concerned with the effects of environmental changes on the structure of the chromosomes of several species of Trillium. It is hoped that the result may be an addition, however small, to the knowledge of chromosome behaviour which is prerequisite for the complete understanding of the methods of inheritance.
