\title{Northern Cricket Frog}

\usage{
data(ncfrog)
}

\description{
 In an experiment due to Ferguson et al. (1967) a number of northern
 cricket frogs (Acris crepitans) were collected from the mud flats of an
 abandoned stream meandering near Indianola, Mississippi, and taken to a test pen
lying to the north west of the collection point. After 30 hours of
enclosure within a dark environmental chamber, 14 of them were released and
the directions taken by these frogs recorded. 0 degrees means North.
}
\format{
