THERE are two views as to the nature of linkage. The earlier view, developed by Ba~ teson and his co-workers, is that this phenomenon is an expression of symmetrical reduplications in the germ tract. A more recent view, developed by Morgan and his co-workers, treats linkage on the basis of a linear arrangement of genes in the chromosomes and of the history of these genes during normal ga-metogenesis. The advocates of the reduplication view have rarely applied their principles to the results on Drosophila on the ground that the results for Drosophila are complicated by sex-linkage. That sexlinkage is simply an additional, but. wholly independent, phenomenon, is proven by the many cases in Drosophilain which sex-linkage is not involved, yet in which the linlkage of the genes to each other is of the same'type as the linkage of sex-linked genes to each other. In this paper I shall attempt to show that the theory of linkage which we have successfully applied to all cases in Dr-osophila., whether involving sex-linked genes or genes which show no sex-linkage, applies equally well to the non-sex-linked cases occurring in sweet peas and primiula. The only serious drawback to such an application lies in the nature of the data which have been collected for these cases. The least satisfactory formal of data from which to determine a, linkage value is that presented by F2 results. In cases in which two recessives enter from opposite parents (" repulsion"), the excessive smallness of the double recessive class in F2 renders any calculation subject. to great error. Slightly better are the F2 results from coupling,
