Abstract
A FROG with abnormal genitalia was brought to my notice during class work. A pad was present on the forefingers as in a normal male. The kidneys were longer than in a normal frog and reminiscent of those of the newt. The right testis was normal but the left had embedded in it very distinct ova. Vasa efferentia arose from both testes. The left oviduct was similar to that of a normal female but the right was thinner and only vaguely connected with the cloaca. The mesonephric ducts were normal but apparently lacked vesiculse seminales.
