Abstract
CHROMOSOMAL mutants with one extra chromosome (or the corresponding n + 1 gametes) have been found in Oenothera, Datura, Matthiola, Nicotiana, Uvularia, and perhaps Mirabilis. It seems probable that they could be found in many other plants, if investigation ad hoc were made, either as somatic or gametic mutations. Such 2n + 1 offspring have also been found fairly often in Drosophila, and doubtless occur in other animals.
