Abstract
THE structure of chromosomes has been a matter of such diversity of opinion and interpretation that it is desirable that certain points at least, which can be definitely settled, be removed from the region of doubt. Trillium is a plant genus with chromosomes so large that their component threads are far above the limits of resolution with the microscope. They are therefore not subject to the doubts and criticisms sometimes expressed concerning observations on the structure of chromosomes which are much nearer the limits of visibility.
