title: Metamorphic variations in the hemoglobins of Bombina variegata (L.).
abstract: 1. The electrophoretic pattern of the anuran Bombina variegata presents one band only until the end of premetamorphosis. Afterwards three new bands appear which substitute the larval band within 15-18 days of metamorphosis. 2. The gradual change of larval and adult hemoglobin, correlated with the development, has been reported in a diagram. 3. In Bombina variegata the hemoglobin change is total, like in most amphibians, but starts earlier and develops slower than in most other species.
