Referee's report by Conrad Hal Waddington, on a paper 'The effects of antero-posterior reversal of lengths of the primitive streak in the chick' by Michael Abercrombie
Reference number: RR/72/3
Date: 1949

Description
Sectional committee: Physiology
Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. It contains valuable factual material but its significance is unsatisfactory owing to a 'somewhat naive misinterpretation of previous views on the experimental embryology of the chick'. The results are much less revolutionary than the author thinks.
[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1950].
