  <dc:description>Between 1978 and 1988, we recorded reproductive information from populations of ranid frogs in Colorado and Wyoming. Egg masses from five plains and montane populations of northern leopard frogs (&lt;i&gt;Rana pipiens&lt;/i&gt;) contained 645-6272 eggs (x̄ = 3045, N = 68 egg masses). In two montane populations of wood frogs (&lt;i&gt;Rana sylvatica&lt;/i&gt;) numbers of eggs per egg mass varied from 711-1248 (x̄ = 876, N = 15) and probably were equal to total clutch size. Mean hatching success was 90% in egg masses from one &lt;i&gt;R. sylvatica&lt;/i&gt; population and ranged from 70% to 99% in &lt;i&gt;R. pipiens&lt;/i&gt; egg masses. &lt;i&gt;Rana pipiens&lt;/i&gt; egg masses from one location were assigned to three overlapping size distributions, which we believe reflects the underlying age structure of female frogs.</dc:description>
