Abstract

Electrical stimulation of advanced tadpoles of Rana breviceps for 24 hr with 3 microA current after hindlimb amputation through shank and ankle slightly increased the number of perfect regenerates as compared to controls. When amputation was made through thigh in tadpoles of the same stage regeneration failed in all cases of the controls but 24 hr stimulation of these tadpoles after similar operation with 3 and 10 microA currents induced fair degree of regeneration in 9 and 40% cases, respectively.
