Dear all,

 

Gharial egg size: 82.2 +/- 3.1mm in length; 56.5 +/- 2.2mm in breadth; 154.6 +/- 15.0gm in weight (Singh, L. A. K., 1978). 

 

I have three files which will be of interest, as a couple of months back I was supposed to mail information regarding Gharial growth hypotheses—‘egg space economy during embryonic development’ and ‘post-hatching growth priority’. Sorry, it was not possible earlier. The mail returned back saying problem about size/space.

 

Please let me know when you are ready to receive these files.

The scanned pages are from the following:

 

SINGH, L. A. K. (1978): Ecological Studies on the Indian Gharial Gavialis gangeticus (Gmelin) (Reptilia, Crocodilia). PhD Thesis, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. xvi+325pages, 93 figs., 72 tabs.

 

There are three files in PDF format:

(1)   gharial egg LAK Singh1978 – gives information on Gharial egg required by cogombra. (1.01 MB)

(2)   gharial egg-hatchling relationship LAK Singh1978 --- gives a brief intro to “egg space economy during embryonic development, (1.06 MB) and

(3)   gharial snout & growth hypotheses LAK Singh1982 --- published in British J. Herpetol in 1982. (2.05MB)
