✦ Synopsis

I n an earlier paper it was shown that a quantitative spatial pattern of development can be rendered directly visible in the cyprinodont teleost, Oryzias latipes by means of oxidation-reduction indicators (Child, 43b). This pattern is definite in character for each developmental stage and undergoes definite changes with progress of development. More recently it has been possible to check and compare the pattern of Oryzias with that of) another teleost species, a cyprinid, Brachydanio rerio (Roosen-Runge, '38). The two species show interesting points of similarity and difference.

The kindness of Dr. D. M. Whitaker of Stanford University and of his assistant, Dr. E. A. Reed, who was in charge of the aquarium stock, in making available developmental material of this species is deeply appreciated.
