The project work was undertaken on 650 Buffalo embryos and foetuses ranging from 26 days to 310 days and 80 nondescript buffalo calves of day old to 30 months to study the development of the skull in Buffalo at different pre and postnatal stages. Developmentally the bones of the buffalo skull were divided into four groups i.e. Chondrocranium, Desmocranium, Membranous viscerocranium and Cartilaginous viscerocranium.
