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].
