## Abstract A cyclic seasonal variation in forelimb regeneration in the newt, __Notophthalmus viridescens__, was noted under controlled environmental conditions at 20°C in previous experiments. Regeneration was enhanced in the summer months and reached its maximum linear growth rate in late spring‐

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The cyclic adenosine 3′‐5′‐monophosphate content of four regenerate stages in the forelimb of the newt, Triturus viridescens, was assayed using the Gilman method and compared to the content in the normal, unamputated, forelimb. The concentration was found to be highest in the earliest stages of regeneration, followed by a sharp drop and then a rise to a plateau approximately that of the unamputated limb. The possibility that cyclic AMP acts as a second messenger for nervous and hormonal influences on regeneration is discussed.

## Abstract The forelimb of the newt, __Triturus (Notophthalamus) viridescens__, was bilaterally amputated and the animals subjected to different photoperiods during the period of regeneration, namely (1) continuous light, (2) 15 hours of light/day and (3) total darkness. Animals exposed to continu
## Abstract Newt forelimb and tail regenerates of various stages were analyzed for their contents of diamines and polyamines, including putrescine, spermidine, spermine, __sym__‐homospermidine, and cadaverine. All the regenerates were particularly rich in putrescine and spermidine among the amines
## Abstract Newts with bilaterally amputated forelimbs were exposed to either continuous light (LL), total darkness (DD), or continuous light with the dorsal head epithelium painted with an India ink and Nile blue sulfate mixture (LL‐II‐NBS) that limited light penetration through the skull to the p
