Abstract
The diploid number of 48 chromosomes in this species consists entirely of one-arm chromosomes, in only some of which it is possible to detect a short second arm. In a study Roberts, 1964, two of twenty-two cells examined revealed possible satellites on single chromosomes, but their significance is unknown. One such chromosome is seen in the female karyotype a In other respects, the chromosomes are roughly comparable in appearance, and show a continuous gradation in size.
