The investigations, some of whose results I am permitted to 

 quote, pending their forthcoming publication, are the following:

The titles of some of these researches are still subject to revi- 

 sion and alteration. Wherever possible I have indicated the 

 probable date and place of forthcoming publication. As far as 

 their direct or corroborative testimony affects the problem here 

 under consideration, I am able to surmnarize some of the results 

 in the following brief statements: 



1. The amniote embryo presents, in certain definite regions 

 and during definite ontogenetic stages, aggregations of mesen-

 appeared, the former as No. 3 of the Wistar Memoirs (pp. 1-52), the latter in 

 Anat. Record, vol. 8, no. 4,, pp. 203-227.
