The sex ratio of quail embryos at 16 hours of incubation was measured on the basis of karyological sexing. Chromosome preparations were made from Colcemid-primed blastodiscs by the air-or fire-drying method followed by conventional Giemsa staining. A method for preparing chromosome slides from the telolecital eggs of birds was described in some detail. Sexing was made by ascertaining the sex chromosome constitution, ZZ (male) or ZW (female), for a minimum of five metaphase plates per embryo. A total of 305 embryos were prepared for cytological sexing. Of these 274 embryos, about 90% could be sexed successfully. The embryos sexed as male were 138 and those sexed as female were 136, a sex ratio of 50.4 (% males) being very close to the fifty-fifty ratio.
