Abstract
One animal of each sex (Catskill Game Farm, Catskill, New York, USA) was studied by the lymphocyte technique. Many elements are difficult to classify (subtelocentrics or acrocentrics); however, the karyotypes are similar to other camelidae published in that seven pairs of small metacentric chromosomes can readily be distinguished.
