 into an 8-page section of the Discussion entitled Recent developments. There 

 are three new figures.

The papers of this volume, though based on a symposium held in Cambridge, 

 England in 1974, have been edited and updated until 1977. From among the 

 32 contributions we single out those that appear to be of interest to our 

 readers. 



The problems of epithelio-mesenchymal interactions and histogenesis in 

 tooth development are addressed in one way or other by Kollar (role of col- 

 lagen) , Osborn (sequence and timing of tooth initiation) , Miller (dentition 

 in mouse mutants) , Moss-Salenti jn (vestigial teeth in mammals) and Shellis 

 (tooth formation in fish) . Osborn provides an in-depth discussion of field 

 versus clone theories as relating to the regional organisation of the den- 

 tition. Lombardi contributes a factor analysis of "morphogenetic fields"
