title: Y-autosome translocation in the howler monkey, Alouatta palliata.
abstract: Two modal diploid chromosome numbers were encountered in a population sample of howler monkeys, Alouatta palliata. The modal diploid number of males was 53, females: 54. Karyotypes prepared by G-band and C-band techniques identified a Y-auto-some translocation in the males.
