TL;DR: An unusual mosaic individual of Drosophila melanogaster found in 1933 while working at the California Institute of Technology is placed on record.
Abstract: THE renewed interest in abnormal distributions of chromosomes leads me to place on record an unusual mosaic individual of Drosophila melanogaster found in 1933 while working at the California Institute of Technology. A ‘strange gynander’ appeared among the offspring of a cross between a female which carried the dominant bristle gene Minute-n (M-n) on one X-chromosome and the recessive eye colour gene carnation (car) on the other, and a male which carried the recessive body colour gene yellow (y) on its X-chromosome.
