## Abstract The nerveless state of larval Amblystoma limbs rendered aneurogenic by removal of the embryonic neural tube and crest was examined in silver stained light microscope sections and in sections prepared for electron microscopy. The regenerates of these forelimbs were similarly studied. The

Abstract
The developing arms of axolotl larvae from the 2βdigit stage onward and the aneurogenic arms of surgically denervated larvae maintained in parabiosis are able to regenerate after amputation. Such regeneration is uniformly inhibited by local irradiation of the arm, whether innervated or not. This demonstration refutes a recent hypothesis that Xβrays interfere with a special activity of nerves required for regeneration, and supports the earlier concept that Xβrays act directly on those cells which must proliferate to form the regenerated tissues.

It was found in earlier studies that if, after irradiation of the forearms of larvae of the salamander Amblystornct with ultraviolet light, the limbs were amputated in the irradiated region, the regenerating limbs showed a high proportion of abnormalities (Blum et al., '57). It was also observed tha
Regenerative growth was studied in limbs and tails exposed to x-radiation. Significant increases in size were observed following irradiation. Growth eventually ceased in irradiated regenerates and involution set in progressively to claim most of the tissue distal to the amputation plane. This growth
## Abstract Retinoic acid (RA) has been detected in the regenerating limb of the axolotl, and exogenous RA can proximalize, posteriorize, and ventralize blastemal cells. Thus, RA may be an endogenous regulatory factor during limb regeneration. We have investigated whether endogenous retinoids are e
