Abstract
Four specimens of this species have been studied with similar results. These animals usually have fraternal twins and are blood chimeras. Species designation is in conformity with Hill. The preparations shown were prepared from bone marrow following in vivo administration of colchicine. Quantitative measurements and comparisons have been presented by Wohnus and Benirschke. Considerable variation in the morphology of the Y chromosome has been observed; it is always the smallest element. As with other marrow preparations, pairing of elements is extremely subjective and only very tentative.
