The Formation and Fate of the Operculum and Gill- chambers in the tadpole of Bana temporaria

Gwendolen Trude Brock

Abstract

ABSTRACT This work has been undertaken with the object of establishing the exact method of formation of the operculum and gill-chambers in the tadpole. It is also intended to follow up a suggestion of 0. H. Latter (1923) that branchial respiration continues after metamorphosis by means of paired apertures immediately in front of the bases of the freed anterior limbs.
