Experiment VI Amblystoma punctatum Tail Series 3962-4004 



First, second and third regenerations after removal of approximately 

 one-half of the tail were studied. The complete data are given in the 

 section on the effect of successive removals. Measurements were made at 

 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 14 days. The rates per day are given in Table 71. The 

 maximum rate comes between 8 and 10 days agreeing with the other data 

 for regeneration of the tail in salamander larvae. 



The percentage increments are given in Table 72. The highest 

 rate comes at tlie earliest period, between two and four days, and is 

 followed by a rapid and then a slower decrease.
