Most of the GS were round or oval in shape and the size increased with the length of the gestational period. With the advance of the gestation,fetus and heartthrob of the embryo may be seen. The size of the uterus in normal monkey during breeding season was less than 28mm in length and 22mm in width, no strong echogram region was found in the uterus.
