Add to ORKGAn assemblage of eight metamorphosed anuran amphibians were studied at a seasonal locality in South India to examine patterns of body size-gradation. In general, body shape was found to be closely correlated to ecological characteristics of the species. The mean ratio of linear dimensions of the body in adjacent species, when arranged in a size -series was 1.3 (range 0.83-1.88), as predicted by Hutchinson (1959) for closely-related sympatric species. It was concluded that competition may be at work in producing these ratios
