Abstract
Skin biopsies of one male and one female animal were obtained from the San Diego Zoological Park, San Diego, California, USA. These animals originated from a colony kept in the Surabaja Zoo, Indonesia. Nelson-Rees had previously studied lymphocytes and marrow of two females and one male from the same colony with the same results. The X chromosome was identified with the help of G-banding, and the Y chromosome was not found to show bright fluorescence with quinacrine staining. Koulischer studied a mountain anoa of the Antwerp Zoo (Anoa depressicornis fergusoni) and found 2n=46 with seven pairs of submetacentrics.
