Dear Rachel Drysdale,
I would like to give the following designation to the alleles created by
the P-insertion in the scalloped gene:
line fLW-1:	sd CMM1
line FLW-1:	sd CMM2
Both lines have an integration of the Fab-7 carrying transgene in the
promoter region of sd and depict a sd phenotype.
With best wishes,
