✦ Synopsis


Using the dominant lethal assay, the ability of fosfestrol, a diethylstilboestrol derivate, to induce mutations in male mice was tested and confirmed. Up to 300 mg/kg of fosfestrol the induction of mutations occurs exclusively in spermatozoa. A dose of 600 mg/kg of fosfestrol induces dominant lethal mutations up to 10 days posttreatment. The majority of induced dominant lethal mutations in all dose groups are expressed as loss after implantation.

## Abstract When male axolotls (__Ambystoma mexicanum__) were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and mated at regular intervals thereafter, the incidence of embryonic abnormalities among the F~1~ progeny increased until a time was reached when none survived to hatching. At 100 mg/1 EMS, this
