Popis: A total of 86 new specimens of late tadpoles and young frogs (Rana ridibunda) with supernumerary right posterior extremities were caught in ponds. The growth and the morphological differentiation of the supernumery extremities depended directly on their anatomical connection of the supernumerary extremities with a spicular deformity of the shin was of a relatively frequent occurrence. Peculiar gradation was noted in cases of development of two and three supernumerary extremities.
