Adults of Rana catesbeiana maintained for 4 days in 12:12 light/dark regimen exhibited a rhythmic color change of 24 hr. Under constant light, however, the rhythm disappeared, and the reflectance values gradually became greater, that is the animals became lighter. Under constant darkness, the rhythm
The concentrations of plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrin (N) measured at rest in bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) were 12.0 and 8.2 nmol liter -1 respectively; the ratio of [E]/[N] was 1.33 (ยฑ SE 0.35). Adrenal glands contained high concentrations of epinephrine (2,923 nmole g wet weight -1 ) and
