## Abstract Five distinguishable stages of tail regeneration in the adult newt have been established. The stages are based on external morphological changes and internal histological characteristics rather than chronological age of the regenerate.

Removal of the lens from the eye of an adult newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is followed by regeneration of a new lens from the dorsal iris epithelial cells at the pupillary margin. This process is dependent upon the neural retina for its normal completion in vivo and in vitro. To examine the relat
## Abstract Radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedures were used to determine whether or not insulin is present in the adult newt. The results show that measurable amounts of the hormone are present in samples ofpooled, fresh serum taken by cardiac puncture methods. We also found that there are no significa
## Abstract Cyclophosphamide (cytoxan), a clinical immunosuppressant, produced a marked, persistent leukopenia (> 40% reduction) in adult newts in contrast to a transient, milder leukopenia accompanying amputations without cytoxan treatments. In addition, cytoxan suppressed the formation of regener
The concentrations of thyroxine (TJ and triiodothyronine (T,) were determined on samples of fresh sera from adult male and female newts during the course of forelimb regeneration by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods. The results show that the circulatory levels of T, and T3 in males and female
