Abstract: | Summary Based on immunological comparisons of the serum albumins of phyllomedusine frogs with both hyline and bufonid species, it is suggested that phyllomedusine frogs be erected to familial status within the superfamily Bufonoidea.This study was initiated in the Department of Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley. Part of this work was supported by NSF grant No. DEB75-23543The author gratefully acknowledges the helpful advice and discussion ofA. C. Wilson. Thanks are also due toD. Wake, H. Cogger, W. Duellman andR. Heyer for generously supplying frog samples. |
