General embryological information service - HPS Repository

alizarin-stained, cleared, whole or partially dissected embryos of the C 3H
albino strain. The stages shown are at intervals of 1 day, from 14 to 38 days.
The skull and neck region, and the extremities are treated separately at higher
magnifications. In each stage only those ossification centres are specifically
indicated which appear for the first time. The atlas provides a dynamic and
integrated picture of the progress of ossification. A notable feature is the
attention paid to sex-differences in later stages.
The atlas as such is preceded by a tabular survey of the chronology of
ossification, in which the centres are arranged alphabetically. A separate table
is devoted to the chronology of the sesamoid bones. The book is concluded by
tabular surveys of day-by-day mean body weights and weight ranges of C 3H
embryos from 14 tot 40 days.

This Supplement to vol. 56 of the "Journal of Cellular and Comparative
Physiology" contains the papers and open discussions of a Symposium held in
Gatlinburg, Tenn., in April 1960, under the sponsorship of the Biology Division
of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The participants to the Symposium
were almost exclusively American and English. There are 12 papers,
more than half of which are of special significance to mammalian embryol-
ogists. Among the subjects treated are: triploidy, morphology and function of
gametes, embryonic gametogenesis, general developmental genetics, and phenogenetics
of hair and pigment mutants. The volume contains a name index.
