Abstract
The karyotypes presented here are donated by Prof. A. Gropp, Pathologisches Institut der Universität Bonn, Bonn, Germany. The specimens were collected in the vicinity of Bonn. A total of 4 animals were analyzed. The karyotypes differ markedly from those of the Eastern European subspecies of hedgehog shown in Folio 53. The X chromosome has been identified by Professor Gropp with H3-thymidine autoradiography.
