## Abstract __Rana pipiens__ tadpoles were grown at four densities in each of three series. Retardation due to crowding was seen despite the presence or absence of feces. Statistical analysis shows retardation due to crowding to be a function of effective density, possibly mediated by behavioral or

The effects of ovine prolactin (oPRL) and ovine (01 or porcine (p) growth hormone (GH) on growth of anuran larvae were compared. In grass frog tadpoles (Rana pipiens), injections of oPRL (10 p,gigmlday) increased tail growth and body weight but had no effect on hindlimb growth or development. The sa
## Abstract Bullfrog tadpoles subjected to the daily disturbance of water replacement demonstrated differences in the rates of growth and metamorphosis and in fatbody weights which depended on the time of day when water replacement occurred. Early daily disturbances stimulated larval growth whereas
