The thesis identifies some evolutionary trends in Harderian gland, olfactory mucosae and VNO structure across a range of taxa. Representative species exhibiting olfactory (Gekkota) or vomerolfactory (Serpentes) specialisation and generalised nasal chemosensory adaptation (Scincomorpha) are examined. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Anatomical Sciences, 1997
