Abstract
The presence of supernumerary (B) chromosomes was revealed in a sample of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) from the territory of the Cze ch Republic in which the specific status was identified by investigati on of allozyme diagnostic markers. Two individuals with one and a sing le individual with four B chromosomes were found within a sample compr ising 60 individuals studied both karyologically and biochemically. Th e overall frequency of the B chromosome incidence in A. sylvaticus see ms to be rather low.
