RATE OF REGENERATION— ZELENY

generally true of tadpoles of this size in Rana clamitans. The percent 

 regenerated is somewhat greater for the smallest removals than for the 

 others. After the maximum is reached there is a tendency toward de- 

 crease of the regenerated region though this is hard to determine with 

 accuracy because the boundary between old and new tissue becomes 

 more and more obscure as time goes on. For this reason the data for 

 56 days of regeneration are not as reliable as the others.
