A map of the seventeen R.SmaI sites within the 33·4 kb transfer region of plasmid F has been obtained. The number of R.SmaI sites contrasts sharply with the few sites for other restriction endonucleases with hexanucleotide specificity. Location of the R.SmaI sites in γtra transducing phages allowed physical location of lambda insertions into the traB, traF and traH genes.
