Abstract

I. Sex dimorphism, in agreement with the normal karyotype, was shown to exist in interphase nuclei of the argasid tick Ornithodoros savignyi. 2. Sex-chromatin bodies were suitably demonstrated only in nuclei of the rectal sac. Other tissues proved to be completely unsuitable. 3. An adapted method, giving excellent differential staining of the sex-chromatin bodies, is described.
