Abstract
A generalized description is given of the form and peripheral distribution of all cranial nerves of Hydrophis melanocephalus, Lapemis hardwickii, and Aipysurus eydouxii. Results presented here agree with the studies of Auen and Langebartel (Auen, E. L., and Langebartel, D. A. 1977. J. Morphol. 154(2): 205–222) regarding the presence of the ocular trunk and the absence of the spinal accessory nerve, and differ from those reported by Agarwal and Sharma (Agarwal, P. N., and Sharma, S. 1979. Indian J. Zool. 7(1): 23–34).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
