Bufo boreas x canorus hybrid
Nov. 7 External bridge of yolk, 2 mm. wide area appears
to be a tumor (?) Probably not mechanical injury.
Lower teeth 3/3 with lateral lobial fringe (see
figure). Two other living toads same age and
devolopment showed same tooth problem.
Nov. 8 One of living toadoles died during night.
Cause of living metamorphed toads seven, one
toadpole left this date. This animal continued
to feed and develop. Lowere of meal-worm,
fruit-flies, storage products well's taken.
Dec. 17 One hybrid alive. Length 14.2 mm. Coloration is
unevenly deep brown similar to soil in aquarium.
Beckland tubercles over back tipped with reddish
brown. Venter browned-black but throat + abdomen
salt-and-pepper effect with off slide white or dark.
Feb. 10 Same hybrid dead from dessication, since I
neglected to water the aquaurium over weekend.
Apparently healthy to time of dying out, had feed
on small meal worm lowere Feb. 4th and
about 15+ mm. snout-vent length. All reason
to assure this animal would have continued
growth and development.
