Abstract
Morphometrical data on R rattus folliculogenesis is compared and contrasted with the data available on Rattus norvegicus, Millardia meltiada and Bandicota bengalensis, The sizes of follicles at antrum formation show a classical difference in the Rattus species. This difference has been attributed to individual/species specificity of hormone action at available sites during follicle growth.
