SUMMARYFour isolated populations of the skipper frog, Rana cyanophlictis were first studied in 1965 and then again in 1975. The genetical changes were measured by the incidence of 19 non-metrical skeletal variants. It was found that these populations have changed very little in 10 years, although the inter-population diversity, as judged by the estimates of divergence, is less now than previously. This could be due to the similar environmental conditions prevailing in Delhi and its neighbourhood from where these frog populations were collected.

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
