Limbs were amputated through the thigh in stages from V onward in Rana pipiens, R. sylvatica, and Pseudacris nigrita tadpoles to establish regenerative capacity. Normal regenerates were produced through stages XII, XI, and XIII, respectively, for the three species. However, hypomorphic forms with re

Normally, urodele limb regeneration is nerve-dependent. Reduction in nerve-dependency has been reported for regenerating, transplanted newt limbs (Singer and Mutterperl, '63). Aneurogenic limbs can regenerate without nerves (Yntema, '59). Induction of supernumerary limbs may be obtained from aneurog
## Abstract When a large wedge of stage 21 posterior chick wing bud tissue was removed and the cut edges were pinned together, wings with a complete complement of skeletal elements developed in 91% of the cases. Twentyβfour hours after removing this wedge of posterior limb bud tissue, tissue had re
In young Bufo melanosticus tadpoles a t the spatula stage of limb development, the left hindlimb was amputated through the shank and the right hindlimb was left intact. One day later, when the amputation surface was covered by wound epidermis, the tadpoles were immersed in 15 IUiml of retinol palmit
