Dear Michael,
I am sorry for the delay in answering your request for FlyBase. Here follow
your messages, with my corrections/changes in CAPITALS.  They mainly
concern the authorship, and an additional information for Df(2R)bw-S46
which also eliminates vir :
There are three genes in FlyBase for which the only 'reference' is:
\*x Nothiger, 1992, personal communication (Crete meeting)
The data are:
\*a Mst59Da
\*z FBgn0005651
\*e Male-specific-transcript-59Da
\*H Last updated 14 Nov 94
\*b 2-103
\*c 59D3--59D4
\*x HUANG, SCHNEITER AND Nothiger, 1992, personal communication (Crete meeting)
\*d male-specific-RNA
\#
\*a Mst59Db
\*z FBgn0005652
\*e Male-specific-transcript-59Db
\*H Last updated 14 Nov 94
\*b 2-103
\*c 59D3--59D4
\*x HUANG, SCHNEITER AND Nothiger, 1992, personal communication (Crete meeting)
\*d male-specific-RNA

\*a Mst59Dc
\*z FBgn0005653
\*e Male-specific-transcript-59Dc

\*d male-specific-RNA

As part of our policy to document everything it would be good if you
could confirm that these data are correct & that you are happy for
them to be in FlyBase (or not so). If you want to add anything, do so.
Yr answer will then be archived as a FlyBase Personal Communication which
any user can then look yp.
Sorry
 I should have added these aberrations to that list:
\*a Df(2R)bw-HB132
\*x AMREIN, HILFIKER AND Nothiger, 1990, personal communication, Crete meeting
\*c Df
\*G vir << bk1 << bw << bk2
\#
\*a Df(2R)bw-S46
\*x FBrf0066905 == Lindsley and Zimm, 1992
\*x AMREIN, HILFIKER AND Nothiger, personal communication, 1990 Crete meeting
\*x FBrf0039465 == Simpson, 1983, Genetics 105: 615--632
\*B 59D8-59D11;60A7
\*W Richards.
\*o X ray
\*G bk1 << Mst59Da << bw << bk2
\*q Deficient for bw AND VIR but not twi.
THAT'S IT. THE REST IS OKAY.
    Rolf
