To any student of anuran embryology it is probably uiinecessary to point out the need for a description of a series of normal stages in the development. The usefulness of such data is shown by the frequency of references to the widely known, though unpublished, series of Amblystoma punctatum by Harrison. The need for a similar ‘common language’for anuran development has been keenly felt in this laboratory and in others for some time, and the present study is an attempt to meet this demand.It has been found most useful to define all stages in the series by at least two characteristics: the external morphology and the age at a constant temperature (hours after fertilixation at 18 C.). The changes in external form are relatively simple up to the beginning of the growth of the tail. Accordingly no additional data, beyond age and form, are needed on stages 1 to 17, which comprise the successive phenomena of cleavage, gastrulation and neurula formation. In the later period of embryology, however, there are many simultaneous processes that are readily identifiable externally. The most obvious are the following: growth of tail; elongation of the body; growth of external gills, development of operculum; development of transparency of epidermis; coiling of gut. Furthermore, there are physiological features of development that appear as the embryo approaches larval condition, eg., beginning of muscular movement and of swimming ability, onset of heart beat, of gill circulation, and of tail fin circula-
