Abstract

The chromosome numbers of two sea anemones, Anthopleura midori and A. kurogane, were determined to be 2n=18 in both by the air-drying method. The chromosomes of A, midori are all telocentric, while the first pair of chromosomes of A. kurogane is subtelocentric and the remainders are all telocentric.
