Ambystoma jeffersonianum Reproduction 139 



Masses were found attached both singly and in series to blades of 

 herbaceous vegetation, petioles of leaves, and twigs. The descriptions of 

 attachment sites and mass dimensions agree with those of Uzzell (1967) 

 and Bishop (1941). 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.— I thank E. K. Smith for her assistance 

 in the field, and J. W. Petranka for his critical review of the manuscript 

 and discussion of the problem. This note was taken from a larger study 

 of larval ecology of A. jeffersonianum which was completed for the M. 

 S. degree under the direction of R. W. Barbour, and was supported in 

 part by two Graduate Student Grants from the University of Kentucky.
