Radula is an important organ and has immense role in feeding of gastropods and also play vital role for taxonomic studies. The structure of radula is species specific. It has role in feeding and also important structure for identification. In present study the morphology of three gastropod species radula (Turbo pentholatus. Personia verculata, Chiton sp) has been investigated. The samples were collected from Buleji rocky shore. The results revealed morphological variation among these species. Two species (Turbo and Chiton) have Rhipidoglassan radula, while Personia verculata has Rachiglossi radula. Scan electron microscopic studies are suggested for further analysis.
