. The ecology and life history of the common frog (Rana temporaria temporaria) . VENTRA :lum GILL CLEFTS Fig. 18. Diagrammatic View of the Mouth and Pharynx of a Tadpole, Showing the Path Taken by the Water and die Structures of Importance in Feeding in R. temporaria and in B. hufo. I have seen them in these species and also in Bombina variegata, and several species of Microhyhdae. This is such a range of Anuran famihes that probably mucous cord microphagy is a general method of feeding in tadpoles. The mucous cords, with entangled food particles, are moved by ciHa towards the wide oeso- phage

The mucous cords, with entangled food particles, are moved by ciHa towards the wide oeso- phageal funnel, down which they plunge. Sometimes, the cords are tangled in the oesophagus, but in the Microhyhd tadpole, Hypopachus
