What is The ovarian histology of the diamond-backed water snake, Natrix rhombifera during the reproductive cycle about?
Adequate descriptions of the reproductive morphology of reptiles are available for only a few species. As concerns the Serpentes there are some descriptions of oviparous, ovoviviparous, and viviparous Colubrid species but there are many genera for which only scanty data are available. This paper describes the histology of the growing ovarian follicle, atresia, and the corpus luteum in Natrix rhombifera. ## REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE The monographic study of Loyez ('06) presents a review of the literature prior to 1900. The germinal epithelium has been described (Loyez, '06; Boyd, '40; Risley and Barnett, '41; Samuel, '44; Miller, '58). Loyez ('00, '06) and Boyd ('40) give descriptions of the changes in the germinal vesicle of the developing ovocyte. In most reptiles the zona pellucida is a striated cuticular membrane which is subdivided into the vitelline membrane, the zona radiata, and the yolk membrane, and has been described in
