An enhancement of cross-over frequencies previously reported by Newcombe & Threlkeld (1972) is shown to be due to two regions located on linkage group I, a few cross-over units to the right of the centromere. The distal region appears to be shorter than the proximal region, but equally effective in enhancing cross-over frequencies. The longer proximal region is readily divisable by cross-overs and probably spans several crossover units.
