Abstract

Abstract It has been shown that the external parameters of eggs of the garden lizard, Calotes versicolor , are not suitable for assessing the exact developmental stages of embryos. In order to make use of this lizard's embryos for experimental work, a series of developmental stages has been characterized, using various morphological features.
