Amphibians were collected to study their habitat and microhabitat utilization during monsoon in Goa 207 individuals of 15 species were collected from grass fields, scrub jungle and moist deciduous forest. They used various microhabitats, and the habitat used varied seasonally. Similarity between habitats was calculated.
