I am grateful to Dr. James D. Watson for his encouragement and support. Dr. Frank Solomon’s criticism (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) helped me through many critical phases of the work. I also thank Dr. Howard Green (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for his very valuable criticism. I thank Robert M. Lancaster excellent experimental help, Ms. Sallie Chait for her photographic work and Ms. Madeline Szadkowski for typing the manuscript. This work was supported by a grant to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Center from the National Cancer Institute and by grants from the NSF.

N2 - This paper describes a technique of visualizing tracks of cultured cells moving on a glass substrate covered with gold particles. It leads to the following observations: • -If the tracks of many cells are examined, cell line characteristic track patterns become apparent. • -In several cases, second or third generation descendents of 3T3 cells were observed to repeat track patterns of their ancestor cell. • -If a 3T3 cell collides with another 3T3 cell or a nonmigrating BSC-1 cell, it forms an outgoing track from the impact area as if the cell was elastically reflected at the target.
