ABSTRACT
It was shown by Brandt (1944) that phocomelias and atrophied limbs can be produced experimentally after deep implantation of embryonic ectoderm into the primordium of the limb bud in the tail-bud stage (Harrison’s stage no. 35) of the amblystoma embryo. The following microscopical analysis of the operated specimens shows some new results which concern the histological changes of the implanted embryonic ectoderm within the tissues of the host embryo and their effect on the limb primordium.
