## Abstract Chick embryos of graded ages, ranging from freshly laid eggs to one week incubation, were prepared for electron microscopy. Interstitial bodies are expressions of βground substanceβ that resemble structureless masses of cytoplasm without enclosing plasmalemma. They measure from 0.1 to

A unique situation exists in the tail-bud of most vertebrate embryos. Even after the rest of the body has undergone considerable determination and development, tlie tail anlad oe contains a large mass of undifferentiated and presumably indifferent cells. The undifferentiated tail mass is most prominent, in chick embryos, from about the 18-to the 24-somite stages. This condition is preceded by a condensation of the primitive streak and followed by one in which the undifferentiated tissue gradually diminishes in bulk as the various tail structures form from it. A small remnant is present in the distal tip of tlie tail of embryos as old as 7 days. Graper ('33) has

Isolated 3-and 5-day chick embryo hearts contain sufficient endogenous substrates to maintain their pulsatile activity for several hours under aerobic conditions, and even after five hours in substrate-free medium the rates are 40 to 50% of the original rates. Carbohydrate appears to be an important
