Maclean 1968 11 August no SN 953 : Heavy fat. Cut skin of neck circumferentially around neck, then along dorsal length of neck to level of leading edge of wing, then a circumferentially, connecting leading edge of each wing with anterior point of carina. Removed skin with all noticeable fat from cervical region. Careful to leave pectoral fat pads, which are quite distinct: white, while cervical fat is yellow. There is a dorsal cervical deposit; took this with the cervical region. t=4.5mm no SN 937 : there are 2 dorsal cervical fat deposits, lying longitudinally along either side of the neck. These remain within the carapace, and seem different in texture from the cervical fat deposit. Left these with the body, as did the deep interjuncular fat, which is white like the pectoral fat pads. moderate fat; t=13x6mm no SN 929 : moderate fat; left testis broken, right testis 10x6 mm. no SN 928. & wet weights of c.f.d. >20g. light fat; t=11x7mm.
