This report will subsume the differences in frequency of lethal chromosomes among certain inversion rearrangements of the third chromosome of Drosophila pseudoobscura, together with their degrees of allelism in different environments. This first paper will deal chiefly with arrangements found in the San Jacinto Mountains, southern California. A second will deal chiefly with arrangements found in Guatemala. A third will compare mutation rates between certain arrangements. Populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura are known to carry a considerable load of recessive autosomal lethals (Wright, Dobzhansky, and Hovanitz, 1942). Furthermore, the third chromosome of this species has undergone a series of inversions which have resulted in 22 different gene arrangements. Crossing over between the heterozygotes of these arrangements is virtually suppressed (Dobzhansky and Epling, 1948; Levine and Levine, 1954). A change of arrangements may also significantly change the frequencies of crossing over at certain loci in different structural homozygotes (unpublished data). Thus, each arrangement tends to be preserved in its population as a discrete and different linkage group. Finally, the several arrangements occur at different frequencies in different environments within the species range (Dobzhansky and Epling, 1944). Each arrangement fluctuates in frequency at a given collecting site, but the pattern of their relative frequencies has remained not dissimilar for many generations at the sites that have been
