This study aimed at determining the values of basic osteometric traits of the long and flat bones allowing for sex and litter size as well as finding out whether a statistical correlation exists between the cranial traits and those of selected post-cranial bones in long-tailed chinchilla. The study material consisted of 140 humeri, scapulae, femora and pelvises and 136 crania of farm long-tailed chinchillas of both sexes from single and multiple litters. A greater correlation was found in the chinchilla skeleton between the head skeleton and the skeleton of the shoulder and pelvic girdles in females than in males, whereas no significant effect of sex and litter size on the metric traits of long-tailed chinchilla scapula, humerus, pelvis and femur.
