Book Description
This book which provides a comprehensive authentic report of the histology and ultrastructure of the coral shaped accessory sex gland of the ghost crab Ocypode ceratophthalmus is part of my doctoral thesis. Every effort has been made to present the matter in an easily understandable way. In writing this book, I have referred other standard books, dissertations and research papers. I extend my deepest sense of approbation to my Research Supervisor Prof Rita G Adiyodi who incessantly and persuasively expressed fortitude of escapade with regard to research. Without her guidance and unrelenting support, this book would not have been possible. I would like to express my sincere thanks to my students Ms Jwala for typing the manuscript and Ms Aswani for the preparation of references and editing the micrographs. The technical support provided by the Electron Microscope Laboratory, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore in carrying out ultrastructural studies is gratefully acknowledged. The love and support of my family is greatfully acknowledged. I take this opportunity to place on record my earnest appreciation to all those who associated with their helpful suggestions.
