Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



TRANSFORMATION SIZE 



prise the southern meadow frog, green frog, carpenter frog and gopher frog. 

 They range from 18 to 35 mm., average 23 to 27 mm., mode 2 4 to 25 mm. Two 

 of these are transformers which winter over as tadpoles. The last group of 

 four frogs (Ranidae) comprise the winter tadpole group, 29 to 59 mm, in 

 range at transformation, average 34 to 53 mm., mode 33 to 54 mm. 



The first 14 species are of species which normally transform the summer 

 the eggs are laid. Of the last 7 species (larger transformation sizes) six are of 

 the group which winters over as a tadpole. 



Viewed from the point of transformation size and smallest breeding adult 

 in each species the interval order between ranges of transformation size and 

 smallest breeding size is as follows: (Table 19)
