| Abstract: | The reproductive system of Hydrocena monterosatiana Godwin Austen & Nevill, is described and is simpler in construction than those of other Neritacea. Evidence of fluctuating reproductive condition is given although breeding appears to persist throughout the year. Breeding fluctuations are related to changes in rainfall and their nature is compared with taht in other gastropods from the same locality. |
