Dr. A. W. Bellamy, associate professor of zoology on the Los Angeles campus.of the University of California. Two species of small subtropical fish, which reach a length of about two inches at maturity, are being used by Dr. Bellamy in his research. “Tt appears that I ‘am. on the threshold to an investigation which may aid in answering the question of what determines sex.” stated Dr. Bellamy. ‘‘My investigations, started less than a year ago more or less by accident, have been too brief for me to form an opinion as to the success of the quest. I know that I have a new definite approach to the answer to the puzzle, and I hope that at the outcome I shall be able to state more definitely just what it is within these fishes and perhaps other creatures that sex.’’ Dr. Bellamy is using two species of one genus of fishes. The genus bears ithe scientific name of ‘Platypoecilus,’’ a name almost longer than the fish itself, and which means literally ‘‘flat fish.’ The two species are named ‘‘maculatus” and ‘‘variatus’’. In variatus the sex-determining factors are in the male; and in maculatus ifthe female. It is indeed this fortunate finding of two species with opposife types of sex-determining mechanisms and which interbreed freely, that makes the investigations possible. In crossing these species, he has produced fertile hybrids which, when crossed back with one of the two original species, produces nothing but males. determines and white jazz band _ every night.

Great empires rose and fell—I was not needed; Greece lived for beauty, Rome for fame and power, England came forth from her obscure beginning To that rare time when knighthood was in flower; America unfurled a starry banner, Strong hands then bore it on from east to west, Through wildernesses, plains and verdant valleys To plant it on Sierra’s gleaming crest; So many chapters of earth’s history had been written, So many mighty battles fought and won, So much of human effort and achievement, Ere .my inspection tour was well begun; That sometimes, when I’ve time for meditation, Considering, as I scan the long ago, How long and well the world jogged on without me, 1 feel completely humbled—don’t you know. —A.
