In these ten years, cytogenetics, particularly human and mammalian cytogenetics, has had some remarkahle advances which nearly caused the classic karyotyping method to hecome obsolete overnight. These advances included the various handing tech niques, correlation hetween gene activities and chromosomes in somatic cell hyhrids, localization of special classes of DNA in chromosome regions hy means of in situ hyhridization, and others. In mammalian cytogenetics and cytotaxonomy, many new facts have also heen uncovered. For example, chromosome handing analyses showed that the arrangement of genetic material in mammals has heen relatively con servative hecause related species may have identical handing patterns. A good portion of karyotypic variahility is attrihuted to total chromosome or total arm translocations. Another source of variahility is the result of the amount and the distrihution of constitutive heterochromatin (C-hands). In a numher of species, entire chromosome arms may he made of C-hand material. Thus the concept of fundamental numher must he modified in such cases. Karyological analyses have also contrihuted suhstantially to systematics of mammals. In many cases, cytogenetic findings confirm taxonomists' con tention regarding species relationships. For example, a numher of taxono mists consider that Peromyscus {Ochrotomys) nuttalli should not he clas sified as a memher -of Peromyscus. Cytological data revealed that Ochrotomys nuttallinot only possesses a diploid numher (2n=52) different from all Peromyscus species (2n=48), hut also has different handing pat terns, indicating remote phylogenetic relationships. More positively, cyto genetic work has assisted taxonomy in identifying taxa which are morpho logically similar. The cottonrat Sigmadon hispidus has a prevailing diploid numher of 52, hut the discovery of cotton rat populations in Arizona with a diploid numher of 22 emphatically indicates that the two forms are genetically so distaut that they cannot he classified as one species. Extensive data have heen accumulated to demoostrate that in many taxa, especially Rodentia, the chromosomes are so polymorphic that it is difficult to assign one karyotype as the standard for the species. On the other hand, in other taxa, e.g., Cetacea, Felidae, etc., many species share the same or very similar karyotype. Thus in the former cases, many karyotypes are required to represent one species whereas in the latter cases, one karyotype may suffice for a numher of species. Since this Atlas series was initiated hefore the discovery of new facts, and since cytogenetic data were ac cumulated during the last decade, deficiency of pictorial presentation in one and occasional duplication in the other are evident when one examines the entire Atlas series. In all previous volumes we placed 50 folios for each installment. In the great majority of cases, each folio contained a male karyotype and a female karyotype of one species, hut in a few instances we presented more than one species per folio. In the present volume, however, we present more than 50 folios since Volume 10 is the last planned volume of this series. This does lll iv I lntroduction not mean that in the future additional compilations of karyotypes will not he appended; hut these will not he done on a regular hasis. Even though conventional karyotypes are now somewhat out of date, they still provide hasic information regarding chromosome constitution of a species, a suhspecies, or a population. In fact, even in handing analyses, standard karyotypes are still necessary for the exact morphology of each chromosome hecause the morphological definition of handed chromosomes is not as sharp as that of the conventionally stained preparations. Thus we helieve that this Atlas series will remain useful as a general reference. lt is premature to compile handed karyotypes since not many species have heen analyzed in detail and only a few whose handed chromosomes have heen competently worked out and standard nomenclature agreed upon. How ever, it is comforting to see that technological advances in the recent years have made remarkahle improvements of our tools and some significant changes in our concepts in mammalian cytogenetics, cytotaxonomy and cytoevolution.
