Abstract

In the present study, observations have been made on a polymelous specimen of Rana tigrina Daud., the first abnormality of this type recorded for this species. Not only is a complete description of the external features given, but an examination of the correlated abnormalities in the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems has also been made. Apparently, the supernumerary right fore-limb shows a reversed condition to that found in a normal right fore-limb in this species.
