Abstract
A MISHAP which throws additional light on the voracious habits of the South American toad Ceratophrys deserves to be put on record. Four of these creatures were received here at the end of June and at the same time two small alligators. When they came, only one vivarium was ready for use, and for a week the toads and alligators shared accommodation in it. They appeared to ignore one another and to be perfectly content. The alligators spent much of the time basking on the top of a small wooden penthouse or immersed in the water trough: the toads dug themselves comfortable burrows and were soon effectively concealed. Both took the food that was offered to them, the toads showing an appetite for the common frog and the alligators for a diet of beef and worms.
