The arrangement of chromosomes in interphase nuclei of Anopheles atroparvus has been inferred from an analysis of: 1. The early stages of mitosis as seen following Quinacrine staining, and 2. The reversible effects on the chromatin pattern obtained following the treatment of living cells with various NaCl solutions, and the following conclusions have been reached: (a) The chromatin is connected to the nuclear membrane, (b) Homologous chromosomes show close side-by-side somatic pairing, (c) The long arms of the sex chromosomes form a fluorescent peripheral body, (d) The autosomes are strongly reflexed at the centromeres, (e) The autosomal centromeric regions are polarized towards the peripheral body, (f) The telomeric regions of all the autosomes are closely apposed.--A ring-shaped pattern of interphase chromatin is constantly and reversibly induced by NaCl 0.15 to 0.18 M solutions.--These relationships indicate a peripheral arrangement of the interphase somatic complement.--The distribution of the chromosomes in polytene nuclei and at the beginning of meiosis resembles that suggested above for somatic interphase cells. This distribution may apply more widely in the Diptera.
