Abstract
The acetocannine smear technic is described primarily for beginners. An effort was made to bring together into one paper the work-a-day details to be followed in collecting specimens and making preparations of plant chromosomes at prophase, of condensed chromosomes at meiosis and mitosis (including mitosis in microspores), and of coiled chromonemata. A schedule for converting temporary slides into permanent mounts is given, and a technic for making smears of the chromosomes in the salivary glands of Drosophila is described.Keywords
