Abstract
SICKLE-FIBRES have recently been the subject of communications to NATURE by Prof. J. E. Duerden1 and Dr. S. G. Barker2. In a minute study of a fibre selected by Prof. Duerden as a typical sickle-fibre from a Blackface lamb, Dr. Barker found that along the sub-apical portion, between the sickle-shaped tip and the definitive fibre grown after birth, the area of cross-section was very little smaller, if at all, than that of the sickle region.
