Abstract
Several aspects of spermiogenesis in the sand skink Scincus mitranus (Anderson 1871) were Ultrastructurally investigated by transmission electron microscope. The ultrastructure of early spermatid, the development of the acrosomal vesicle and of the acrosomal granules were revealed. The nuclear changes including chromatin condensation and the roles of the microtubular manchette surrounding the nucleus and of the Golgi bodies were discussed.
