In the preceding paper (Van de Vate & Symonds, 1974) a deletion, sdl, has been reported that stabilizes an rII diploid by penetrating into the region of the duplication from the right-hand side (if we take the rIIB gene located to the right of rIIA). Here we wish to report on a different stabilizing deletion, sd2. Evidence will be presented in favour of penetration of the duplication from the left-hand side. The right-hand terminus of the deletion is located within the rIIA gene.
