Abstract
The toxic effects of Sumithion on developing embryos of a frog,Microhyla ornata, were investigated for a period of 96h. Abnormalities observed were loss of balance, abnormal behavior, curvature of the body axis, poor pigmentation, feeble circulation in the tail, blisters on the body, distension of body cavities and retarded growth.Keywords
