Abstract
The number and behavior of the chromosomes have been investigated in the spermatogenesis of Cryptobranchus allegheniensis. The spermatogonium contains sixtyโtwo chromosomes, which are composed of twelve atelomitic Vโshaped ones, and eighteen long and thirtyโtwo short telomitic ones. The haploid number of chromosomes is ascertained to be thirtyโone in both of the primary and secondary spermatocytes.
The chromosomal relation between the present species and Megalobatrachus japonicus, a closely related form, has been discussed.
