Abstract. Intrapopulation variability of internal features of the forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula Pallas, 1778) was studied in the conditions of the northern macroslope of the Central Caucasus. The analysis of indices of internal organs (taking into account the sex) showed that five of the six indices studied are higher in females than in males (no significant differences were revealed, $t<2$). The indices of adrenal glands and spleen turned out the highest variability.

Keywords: Central Caucasus, population, internal features, forest dormouse, male, female.
