Stable type chromosomal rearrangements in the irradiated bone marrow cells are analyzed in 13 males of the SD rats and 20 males of the C3H/He mice. The rat chromosomes nos. 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13, and the mouse chromosomes nos. 2, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14, among which 3 pairs are homeologous in both species are frequently involved in the rearrangements. The homologous genetic control for these rearranged chromosomes is suggested.
