Abstract
Skin cultures of two animals from the Catskill Game Farm were initiated for karyological studies. The results are identical with the karyotypes constructed from lymphocyte cultures by Tietz and Teal. The X chromosome was identified by H3-thymidine radioautography in the female as one late replicating element.
