This series consitutes a complete record of a series of developmental biology 

 conferences held in 1956 under the auspices of the National Academy of 

 Sciences — National Research Council (U.S.A.). Among the participants 

 were nearly 300 scientists from the U.S.A., and 54 scientists from 19 other 

 countries. Each conference had a reporter, who took care of the editorial work 

 for the report. 



The conferences usually took the form of a mixture of individual research 

 reports, and general discussions centering around key questions put forward 

 by the chairman, a distinguished authority in the field in question.
