To the Editor: I enjoyed the informative article on jumping genes by Dr. Schwartz (April 6 issue).¹ However, there is an error in the introduction. Thomas Hunt Morgan performed the early (1910) work cited not at the California Institute of Technology but at Columbia University, with his students A.H. Sturtevant, H.J. Muller, and C.B.
