The identification, morphology, and banding pattern of the chromosomes of the Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) are described. A diagrammatic representation of the banding pattern as revealed by various techniques is presented following the nomenclature suggested by Paris Conference (1971) for human chromosomes. The Y₂ chromosome and the neck of the X chromosome are late replicating based on observations made with the use of a bromodeoxyuridine plus Giemsa technique. Most of the G-bands are early replicating, contrary to earlier findings based on autoradiography.
