Abstract
THE present article was written in response to that by Dr. G. Levander1 descasting some of his interesting experiments or the development of cartilagey bone and by means of induction in adult animals. The author connects his investigations with the problem of induction in the sense of Spemann, who considers that in the embryo induct is caused by chemical substances. Unfortunately Dr. Levander seems not to be aware of the studies on organisers in adult animals which has been carried on in the U.S.S.R. since 1928; the purpose of this report is to summarize this work.
