- Ascaphus truei [Tailed frog] (contd [continued])
Aug [August] 13/42 [1942] Examined captive larvae and
found that yearlings were about
same size, 27 mm [millimeter]
but that 2-year-old was in 4 leg
stage. High limbs are strongly
developed + used occasionally to push
body along bottom or along stone surface
Fore limbs used also for same
purpose and for balance.
The sucker is degenerating but is
still used; it seems to have
lost some efficiency however.
Total length 48 mm [millimeters].
Aug [August] 16 [1942] One yearling was found dead by Pegler
+ was preserved. T.L. [total length] 25.5 mm [millimeters]
Sept [September] 2/42 [1942] The metamorphosing larva at this
date shows no sign of the oral sucker
The eyes are prominent - Limbs well
formed + used for locomotion. Tail
still full length (?) and is used for
swimming occasionally; fin appears to be
degenerating. General colour blackish green
with lighter spotting. Sides of body and
upper surfaces of limbs with small yellowish
green spots. A dark narrow bar across head
between the eyes; in front of this the head + snout is
of a lighter colour than rest of body.
