Respiration experiments on Anura have, in the past, dealt chiefly with the adult frog. The importance of cutaneous respiration as determined by lung extirpation and subsequent CO, production and 0, consumption tests has been evidenced through the works of Spallanzani (1807)' Edwards (1824)' Regnault
The development of the anuran tympanic membrane during larval involution has presented many interesting problems. The earlier work, however, was concerned entirely with a determination of its histological structure. Thus, Moldenhauer (1878) sketched and described the conditions found in Rana esculen
Complete tail amputation enhanced the rate of metamorphosis threefold in the late prometamorphic tadpoles of Microhyla ornata and Rana tigrina. By contrast, premetamorphic tadpoles after tail amputation showed no acceleration of metamorphosis; instead, they regenerated their tails. Both these events
