RESPONSES OF YOUNG TOADS 213 



a bodily condition in young toads not far removed from that of 

 hypnosis described by Verworn in other animals. 



Young toads will also respond to contact in another manner. 

 Sometimes when touched the body is pressed closely against the 

 ground, and the lungs are inflated with air, the head also being 

 bent downward. While in this position an animal remains 

 motionless. It is likely that many of these responses to con- 

 tact on the part of young toads are adaptive in function.
