Tne head constituted 40% of the total body weight and 30% of the total body length. The mean head weiaht for rilale and female computed was 23.90 g and 29.13 g respectively. Head weight in both male and female was significantly different (P<0.01) while the hezld length for the combined sexes showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Fat accumulation in the body tissue was prominent in the females than males usually before the breeding season.
