Abstract
Skin biopsies of one male and one female specimens were kindly supplied by Dr. C. Gray, National Zoological Park, Washington, D.C., USA. They gave similar results and agree with the findings of Todd and Pressman. Because of the cytologic similarity to Felidae the Karyotype has been arranged like that of cats. The prominent satellited marker chromosomes are placed in the fourteenth position.
