Symmetry & Asymmetry of the Median Sutures in Reptilian Scutellation
Grant C. 1944. Symmetry & Asymmetry of the Median Sutures in Reptilian Scutellation. Herpetologica. 2(6):114-117
This paper concerns itself with the median dorsal and ventral sutures between scales or scutes which occur on certain parts of many reptiles. We will try to show that although these sutures are usually normally symmetrical and median, there is frequently, and naturally enough, deviation in some individuals of some genera; other genera inexplicably have a FIXED asymmetry.
