摘要

Little is known about the natural history of R. taipeianus. We observed the population of R. taipeianus in a rice paddy at Tsyr-hwu, Taur-yuan Hsien in 1983. In first observation, 8 male R. taipeianus were found sleeping in burrows under boundles of rice straws, which were about one meter in length and 0.6 m in width. Foam nests were found in and around the burrows at the same locality in second observation. Egg deposition of R. taipeianus in Tsyr-hwu began between late January and early Febuary, while that of the population in Mu-cha, Taipei Hsien began in December. The occurrence of R. taipeianus at Tsyr-hwu is the southernmost distributional record now known.

台北樹蛙的自然生活史罕爲人知。我們於1983年兩次觀察桃園縣慈湖地區稻田中的台北樹蛙族群。第一次發現八隻雄蛙於長約一公尺、寬約0.6公尺的稻莖束所掩蓋的洞穴中睡眠。第二次在同地洞穴中發現泡狀卵塊。此族群在一月底至二月初之間開始産卵，而台北市木柵地區的本種族群却於十二月開始産卵。據筆者資料，慈湖地區的台北樹蛙族群是本種被發現最南端的分布記錄。
