Abstract
Chromosome sets of eight Apodemus peninsulae individuals captured in Gansu Province (Lianhuashan Natural Reserve) were studied for the first time in 2012. Chromosome sets of mice contained from 55 to 62 chromosomes and included 48 A chromosomes and 7–14 additional B chromosomes of different morphologies.
