Abstract

The authors investigated the numbers of vertabrae of 128 specimens of rats of Muridae and Cricetidae. Mean values of vertebral counts in each species are as follows: [Formula omitted] Numbers of vertebrae provided a complete separation of Muridae and Cricetidae groups and gave statistically significant separations of Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus, and Apodemus speciosus speciosus and A. argenteus argenteus. © 1959, JAPANESE SOCIETY OF APPLIED ENTOMOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY.
