Abstract

Some reptiles are known to possess sperm storage in the female genital tract. Examination of the oviduct of the lizard Calotes versicolor shows the presence of sperm in storage pockets of the uterovaginal region throughout the reproductive cycle. Histochemical studies indicate that the epithelium of these pockets resembles the local oviductal epithelium and that a considerable amount of activity of steroidogenic and metabolic enzymes exists.
