Genetic mapping of suppressors of the ilv-188 mutation is described. Suppressors of this mutation have been mapped at four ochre suppressor loci: sup L, sup M, sup N and sup O. The ochre suppressor described by Brenner & Beckwith is shown not to suppress ilv-188 whereas the suppressor described by the same authors suppresses ilv-188 and may represent the same locus as supO suppressors. The mapping by P1 transduction of the sup L, sup M and sup N loci is described.
