Eight newly isolated 9 + 0 mutants each mapped at one of the four previously known loci. Short flagellum mutants were at three loci, two of which (pf7 and pf8) were closely linked; the third, pf21, was unlinked to these two and mapped on linkage group II. The long flagellum mutants lf1 and lf2 were on linkage groups II and XII respectively. Mutants pf8A and lf1 were both recessive to wild-type. There was no evidence for non-Mendelian flagellum mutants.
