During the summer of 1956 the influence of both nerves and epidermis on limb regeneration was analyzed by means of transplants to the dorsal fin of Amblystoma larvae. All combinitions of nerve tissue, muscle, skeleton, epidermic and apical epidermal cap were implanted. The results of these implantations will be analyzed during the winter at Kenyon.
