Summary

Description
English: Historical drawing of the skeleton of the common water frog Pelophylax “esculentus” (LINNAEUS, 1758). Top left corner: skull in ventral view. Top center: pectoral girdle in ventral view. Top right: mandible. Also note that
  • the bone labelled “Astragalus” (a) is not entirely homologous to the astragalus in amniotes and today is usually referred to as tibiale.
  • the bone labelled “Calcaneum” (ca) is not entirely homologous to the calcaneum in amniotes and today is usually referred to as fibulare.
  • the bone labelled “Præcoracoid” (pco) is actually the clavicle.
  • the structure labelled “Rudiment of sixth toe” (VI) today is usually referred to as prehallux and that its nature as a rudiment is controversial.
Deutsch: Historische Zeichnung des Skelettes des Teichfrosches Pelophylax “esculentus” (LINNAEUS, 1758). Oben links: Schädel in Ventralansicht. Oben Mitte: Schultergürtel in Ventralansicht. Oben rechts: Unterkiefer. Man beachte ferner, dass
  • der mit „Astragalus“ (a) beschriftete Knochen nicht in Gänze homolog dem Astragalus der Amnioten ist und heute für gewöhnlich Tibiale genannt wird.
  • der mit „Calcaneum“ (ca) beschriftete Knochen nicht in Gänze homolog dem Calcaneus der Amnioten ist und heute für gewöhnlich Fibulare genannt wird.
  • der mit „Præcoracoid“ (pco) beschriftete Knochen eigentlich die Clavicula ist.
  • die mit „Rudiment of sixth toe“ (VI) beschriftete Struktur heute für gewöhnlich Prähallux genannt wird und dass es umstritten ist, ob es sich wirklich um ein Rudiment handelt.
