This is the report of the 26th Developmental Biology Symposium held in La 

 Jolla, Calif., in June 1967. These Symposia are now published as annual supple- 

 ments to the journal "Developmental Biology", of which the present volume is 

 the first. 



The ten papers presented are grouped in three sections, entitled respectively: 

 "The role of cytoplasmic units" (3), "The role of the nucleus" (4), and 

 "Regulatory mechanisms" (3). In the first section one paper deals with higher 

 plants ( plastids ) , one with Neurospora, and one with Chlamydomonas { f lagella ) . 

 The second section contains two papers on gene action in higher plants 

 (McClintock, Stebbins), one on somatic cell hybridization (Ephrussi), and one 

 on masked messenger RNA and cytoplasmic DNA in animal embryogenesis 

 (Tyler). The papers of the last section deal with erythroid cell differentiation, 

 development of immunocompetent cells (Auerbach), and regulatory action of 

 estrogens, respectively. 



The discussions held at the Symposium are not recorded. The book is 

 adequately illustrated and concluded by author and subject indexes.

This volume embodies the proceedings of a three-day Symposium held in 

 December 1964 in Paris. It was attended by 39 scientists, 15 from France, 10 

 from the U.S.A., and 14 from various European countries. 



The book contains 24 research papers and their attendant discussions. On 

 account of their specialized nature they will not be enumerated here. Suffice it 

 to mention that most papers deal with the mammalian brain, and that they are
