Asymmetry in the bone weights of mandibula with teeth, thoracic limbs (scapula, humerus, radius and ulna) and pelvic limbs (femur and tibia-fibula) was studied in guinea pig, rat, hamster, weasel and marten. Bone weights on the right and left sides, and dominant and non-dominant sides were examined for the presence or absence of onesided dominance, and the results obtained were as follows. The differences in mean bone weights between the right and left were not significant, but those between the dominant and non-dominant sides were significant, with the exception of the scapula (weasel and marten) and humerus (marten). The degree of the differences in bone weights between the dominant and non-dominant sides calculated by the method of von Verschuer's average percentile deviation was comparatively greater in the guinea pig, hamster and marten than in the rat and weasel.
