Abstract

The somatic chromosome complement of Bubulcus ibis consists of six pairs of macrochromosomes, twenty-three pairs of microchromosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes. The Z-chromosome is comparable in size to autosome pairs 3 and 4, from which it is difficult to distinguish, and the W-chromosome is indistinguishable from the larger microchromosomes. The chromosome complement of one individual was found to deviate from the normal because of structural heterozygosity involving a member of chromosome pair 1 and a microchromosome.
