Allowing for the unfortunate slip of the pen by which "batrachians" are substituted for "fresh-water polyps," how can we fail to admire the severity of the scientific method employed in reaching these interesting conclusions? ❋ Unknown (1876)
Springing, I hazard, from the stegocephalia, the ancestor of the frogs, these batrachians followed a different line of evolution and acquired the upright position just as man did his from the four-footed folk. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The movement of the batrachians over the bridge had ceased. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Flashes of intense, green light, mingled with gleams like lightning strokes of concentrated moon rays, sprang from behind the wall — sprang and struck and burned upon the scales of the batrachians. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Flanking and behind us marched the giant batrachians, fivescore of them at least, black scale and crimson scale lustrous and gleaming in the rosaceous radiance; saucer eyes shining circles of phosphorescence green, purple, red; spurs clicking as they crouched along with a gait at once grotesque and formidable. ❋ Unknown (2004)
These half-human, highly developed batrachians they call the ❋ Unknown (2004)
To her the handmaiden spoke, pointing to the batrachians who stood, paws and forearms melted beneath the robes they had gathered. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The sea of crimson lacquer, with its floating moons of luminous colour — this bow of prismed stone leaping to the weird isle crowned by the anomalous, aureate excrescence — the half human batrachians-the elfland through which we had passed, with all its hidden wonders and terrors — I felt the foundations of my cherished knowledge shaking. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The batrachians are low down in the scale of nature, but they have a determinate period of existence, as do all other forms of life. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
Now, if such close relations of homology can be brought about independently of any but the most remote genetic affinity, it would be rash to affirm dogmatically that there is any impossibility in the independent origin of such forms as centetes and solenodon, or of genetically distinct batrachians, as similar to each other as are some of the frogs of South ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)
So the old man went back to his batrachians, and Oth ribbed Pen's sock in silence: the old fort stood at last as quiet in the moonlight as if it were thinking over all of its long-ago Indian sieges. ❋ Various (N/A)
Collections of marine invertebrates, of reptiles and batrachians, casts of fishes and cetaceans, an old whaling outfit, and a lot of miscellaneous material completed the exhibit. ❋ Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission (N/A)
However, I could never induce the bull snakes to eat any of these batrachians. ❋ Carl Weschcke (1933)
The sea of crimson lacquer, with its floating moons of luminous colour -- this bow of prismed stone leaping to the weird isle crowned by the anomalous, aureate excrescence -- the half human batrachians-the elfland through which we had passed, with all its hidden wonders and terrors -- I felt the foundations of my cherished knowledge shaking. ❋ Unknown (1919)

These half-human, highly developed batrachians they call the Akka prove that evolution in these caverned spaces has certainly pursued one different path than on earth. ❋ Unknown (1919)
Flashes of intense, green light, mingled with gleams like lightning strokes of concentrated moon rays, sprang from behind the wall -- sprang and struck and burned upon the scales of the batrachians. ❋ Unknown (1919)
