The presence and configurations of the small, extrinsic muscle fibers of the M. mandibulolabialis superior in the upper labium and the M. inferior in the lower labium are described for 24 species in 9 families. Although several species possess only the M. inferior, or both the M. inferior and superi
## Abstract Configurations of the rectus abdominis in tadpoles of 60 anuran species in 13 families were examined. This muscle is present by Gosner stage 25 and does not change until late in metamorphosis. The anterior terminus of the r. abdominis usually is a straight, transverse front or fanβshape
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
