Abstract:

"The oviposition behavior of the green frog, Rana clamitans, and the bull frog, Rana catesbeiana, induced by injections of homoplastic anterior pituitaries and witnessed in a laboratory habitat, is described. A possible course of evolution from the plinth type of spawning to the surface film type is discussed"--P. 6.
