A detailed investigation of meiosis in the male mule and hinny has been made. Although breakdown of spermatogenesis at the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase was observed in most germ cells of the two hybrids, a few mature spermatozoa were recovered from the ejaculate and epididymal flushings of the hinny.
