Notes on the Sex Determination in a Species of the Galapagos Tortoise
DeSola R. 1929. Notes on the Sex Determination in a Species of the Galapagos Tortoise. Copeia. (171):54-55
While with the New York Zoological Society Galapagos Expedition of 1928, under the leadership of Dr. C. H. Townsend, I acquired the following information of this text from my native guide, an Ecuadorian settler called Garcia. On the long march back to the coast from the interior of volcano scarred southeastern Albemarle, food gave out. Tortoise were at hand and solve the immediate problem. Before killing the shelled reptiles, I asked about their sex, and subsequent examination of the generative organs and the cloaca completely checked the statements of my native guide.
