Two triplications induced in a normal halpoid chromosome complement by TEM (Tr-I) and by mustard gas (Tr-II) are described. Two models which may lead by successive steps to the formation of a triplication are suggested. The induction of two latent breaks is essential in both of them. The origin of repeats in general is discussed. It is concluded that chromosome breaks rather than non-homologous crossing-over constitute the major source of repeats.
