Additional records of size of clutch are provided by data from dissected females (Table 9). All females were collected from May through September from localities south of latitude 36.5°. The number of eggs includes those in both oviducts, and the number of ovarian follicles those in both ovaries. The number and range in size of only the largest group of follicles is listed; in some instances the size of follicles formed a graded series, and the designation of a group was arbitrary. TABLE 9.
