Abstract
Eggs of the spiny-tailed lizard Uromastix microlepis were laid in one sequence and the number varied from 8 to 16 eggs with an average size of 5 cm in length and 3.3cm in greatest diameter. Eggs, when laid, contained well developed embryos all of which appeared to be at the same stage of development. Embryos at this stage bore close resemblance to stage 29 of Calotes versicolor embryo.
