Diploid number (2n=72), and haploid number (n=36) forBuccinulum corneum (L. 1758) collected from the Gulf of Palermo in December 1987 were determined. A simple method to obtain nucleolar organizer regions (NOR), and constitutive heterochromatin regions (C-bands) of chromosomes ofB. corneum is described. Analyses of silver-stained chromosome preparations ofB. corneum suggest that a within-individual variability in NOR-banding pattern is present in each of the five specimens analysed.
