Injection of minute amounts of actinomycin D into the yolk sac of chick embryos during the second day of incubation is capable of inducing anomalous development of the axial skeleton (Pierro, '61). Abnormal embryos are classified as either trunkless or rumpless. Rumpless embryos lack a pygostyle and

Phenobarbital was observed to produce cardiovascular malformations in embryonic chicks. Malformations included simple ventricular septal defect, ventricular septal defect associated with dextroposition of the aorta, double outlet right ventricle, and several types of aortic arch anomalies.

Chloride-dependent action potentials were elicited from embryonic skeletal muscle fibers of the chick during the last week of in ovo development. The duration of the action potentials was extremely long (>8 sec). The action potentials were reversibly blocked by the stilbene derivative, SITS, a speci
