Résumé :	We studied the breeding biology of the Green Toad, Pseudepidalea viridis (Laurenti, 1768), in the 2007-2008 breeding seasons at Kocacay Stream. The breeding period began in early February and lasted approximately two months. The median of the breeding seasons was calculated as 5'March for the entire study period 2007-2008. The average clutch size was 14,594 eggs and this value was higher than in other conspecific populations from Denmark, Israel and Italy. Clutch size and clutch mass were significantly correlated with female body size, but single egg mass and egg diameter were not. A negative significant correlation was seen between clutch size and egg diameter.
