Chromosome studies of testicular cells corroborated an earlier report of only seven chromosomes in somatic cells of males of the Indian muntjac, <i>Muntiacus muntjak</i>. The heterotrivalent observed during meiosis confirmed the view that a translocation had occurred between the X and an acrocentric autosome. Thus the male has an XYY, sex-chromosome system.
