Blood was aseptically drawn from five individuals of each sex and was taken for haematological analyses. The mean values of haemoglobin (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin, and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) were calculated. Along with this, the serum biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, and cholesterol were found out and each parameter was expressed as mean&plusmn;SE of both the sexes of animal. The differential leucocyte number of each category of cell (lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) was enumerated. In morphometrical analyses, the cell length and breadth along with the nucleus of erythrocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils were also measured. Considering both haematobiochemical and cytomorphometrical aspects, various angles are interpreted.<#LINE#>Olafedehan C.O., Obun A.M. and Yusuf M.K.

There are 183 species of Sphingidae compiled in volume V of &bprime;Fauna of British India, Moths&prime; and approximately 1000 species found all over the world. During the present studies, Rhagastis hayesi Diehl and Rhagastis aurifera (Butler) have been treated by taking various taxonomic characters, particularly the external genitalia to facilitate their authentic identification, diagnosis and differentiation as genital morphology shows peculiar patterns of variation among insects and both these species are first time reported from North-West India. Traditionally, external genitalic features of insects are considered as highly species specific in general and of high relevance in order Lepidoptera in particular.  However, genitalic characters have been ignored by eminent workers. The adult representatives of hawkmoths namely hayesi Diehl and aurifera (Butler) of genus Rhagastis Rothschild & Jordan were collected with help of light trap fitted at different places in North-West India and after proper stretching were finally preserved in air tight wooden boxes containing naphthalene balls. In this research paper, the detailed study of morphological as well as external genitalic features of both the species have been study to update their taxonomic status in family Sphingidae.<#LINE#>Triplehorn C.A., Charles A. and Johnson N.F.

It is opportunistic omnivorous and feeds upon a variety of food items. The sustenance structure of the Indian fox population was studied in different habitats of Balotra region. Food preferences of this fox were investigated from January 2015 to December 2018 in Balotra region. Prey items eaten by Indian fox were identified using scat analysis method. This method revealed undigested vestiges of some species of vertebrates, invertebrates with arthropods and fruits as general food item. In summer, it prefers babool (Prosopis juliflora and Acacia tortilis), khejri (Prosopis cineraria), and fruits while the hairs and bones of animals were found in a higher percentage. In monsoon, it obtained maximum food from ber and small mammals. In animals, the arthropods frequency (91.89%) was very high among food items. In winter, it depended upon ber, mammals and aves.<#LINE#>Johnsingh A.J.T.

Various physico chemical parameters and heavy metal concentration of the Vaigai River water were also analyzed. From the result it was found out that concentration of nickel, lead and chromium were higher than the permissible limit.<#LINE#>Yang H. and Rose N.L.

The presence of some phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins strongly support the medicinal use of the plant. The compositions of fatty acids from the seed extract of Abroma augusta were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer. Four fatty acids were found and they are methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, oleic acid and methyl linoleatte. Methyl linoleatte showed the highest concentration (72.61%) among all the fatty acids found in the seed of Abroma augusta.<#LINE#>Edeoga H.O., Okwu D.E. and Mbaebie B.O.
