Sacalia quadriocellata Abstract:Ultrasound investigations on vitellogenic follicles and atretic follicles and oviductal eggs were performed on 6 adult female four eye-spotted turtles (Sacalia quadriocellata). The results showed the periodic changes of number and size of ovarian follicles were significant The diameter of the vitellogenic follicles ranged between 4 mm to 24 mm (n=186).In August,the number of follicles began to increase along with the fall in temperature,and preovulatory follicles reached the maximum number and the ovary was mature in December.Size of preovulatory follicles ranged between 19 mnl to 24 mm (n = 56) and the largest one was detected in December.Follicles reached ovulatory size from January to March.Atretic follicles,whose diameter ranged between 10 mm to 20 mm (n=14),were only detected from October to the following March.
