ABSTRACT THE broad bean, _Vicia faba_, has been extensively used for cytological investigations because, among others, it has the advantage of unusually large chromosomes. Several different

kinds of investigation using this species have given results which suggest that its chromosomes are multi-stranded. These include autoradiographic investigations of chromosome replication1,

investigations of meiosis and mitosis following X-irradiation2 and, most recently, direct observation of the unravelling of chromosomes following enzymatic digestion3. Access through your
