Abstract
BUDDING of erythrocytes giving rise to non-nucleated erythroplastids in the peripheral blood was observed by Emmel1 in ten out of eleven species of urodeles. One species, Batrachoseps attenuatus, has approximately 95 per cent non-nucleated erythrocytes1,2. Budding in the Anura is less well substantiated. Jordan and Spiedel3 described stages in the extrusion of the nucleus of erythrocytes of the bullfrog, Rana catesbiana.
