In the Mexican axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, the developmental mutation lethal t is inherited as a simple Mendelian recessive. Mutant larvae failed to feed and died, on the average, 17 days after hatching. Unfed wild-type larvae died an average of 23 days after hatching. By 15 days, forelimb develop

## 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
Although recent experiments on pattern formation during amphibian limb regeneration have relied on the use of triploid marked cells, the purity of the triploid donor has not been proven. To test the purity of the donor, blood (which contains noncycling nucleated red blood cells) was collected from t
Gallium nitrate, a drug shown to have efficacy in Paget's disease of bone, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and a variety of experimental autoimmune diseases, also inhibits the growth of some types of cancer. We examined dose and timing of administration of gallium nitrate on limb regeneration in the Me
Recessive mutant gene c in axolotls results in a failure of the heart to function because of abnormal embryonic induction processes. The myocardium in this mutant lacks organized sarcomeric myofibrils. The present study was undertaken to determine if developmental abnormalities were evident in other
## Abstract The number and relative density of cells in specific regions of the upper forelimb of the axolotl were compared. Selected transverse sections taken from the distal oneβthird of the upper forelimb were analysed by light microscopy. Comparisons were made between the total numbers of cells
