Abstract
THE results of this memoir largely are in keeping with certain revolutionary changes in embryological doctrine, with which the names of Klaatsch, Miss Julia Platt, Goronowitsch and others are identified. According to their views certain vertebrate structures, which have hitherto been genetically referred wholly or in part to the mesoderm, such as scales, certain cartilages, and even bones, are in fact directly or indirectly products of the outer layer of the embryo, the ectoderm or epiblast. This is only a brief and very general statement of the tendency of their lines of research, and it may be added that as to the details there exist important differences between the different observers. It will not be needful to review all their conclusions here. Our concern is solely with the aspect of the question presented to us by Dr. Goronowitsch in his memoir.
