Macrophage-like cells in the tail mesenchyme of bullfrog tadpoles were isolated and characterized. These cells actively ingested latex beads into their perinuclear cytoplasm and thyroid hormone was essential for their survival in vitro. The requirement for this hormone is a unique property of these

Autolysis and heterolysis of the degenerating epidermis of the tail fin of Rana japonica tadpoles during spontaneous metamorphosis were observed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In the early climactic stages of metamorphosis (st. 19-20), the outermost epidermal cells developed vacuo
## Abstract This study provides the first data on muscle activity patterns during active feeding in a larval anuran. Data regarding muscle function during gill irrigation and hyperexpiration are also provided. Electromyographic and kinematic data were recorded from six mandibular and hyoid muscles
