Abstract

£A standard G-band karyotype is proposed for the genus <i>Peromyscus</i>. G-banded chromosomes of <i>Peromyscus boylii glasselli</i> (NF = 56), numbered and arranged according to euchromatic lengths, serve as the standard. It is suggested that rearrangements of the standard pattern which occur in other species of <i>Peromyscus</i> be described using the general methods of the Paris Conference (1971).
