Murty M: Additional vertebrate remains from one of the late Pleistocene--Holocene Kurnool caves (Muchchatla Chintamanu Gavi
Abstract Additional remains of small mammals (rodents-Hystrix sp., Bandicota cf. bengalensis, Millardia cf. kathleenae, cf. Rattus rattus; Lagomorph-Lepus sp.) reptiles (Python sp. and serpentes indet., Varanus sp.), amphibian (cf. Bufo melanostictus) and aves (cf. Gallus gallus) are reported from d...
