## Abstract Preimplantation embryos from matings between mice heterozygous for the yellow allele (A^y^) of the agouti locus were cultured in vitro and their development was compared with embryos from control matings (A^y^/a ร a/a). No morphological abnormalities were consistently observed at the ei

โฆ Synopsis
The problem of tlie effect of letlial gciies 011 development is oiic of considerable interest from tlie geiictical as ~vcll as from the embryological poiiit s of view. The โฌew investigations alreatly pnblislied seem to jriclicatc that letlial genes may affect development in very different ways,
The application of tissue cwltnre to tlie study of lethal embryos, attemptcd ill this and in a prwions study (Eplirwsi, ' 3 3 ) , is based on the assumption that, this technic s4ioiild permit the dctermina~ioii of the poteiitialities of the cells of ail embryo which is non-viable in vivo. It should be possible by means of tliis method to solve several preliminary ques-

## Abstract Preimplantation embryos from matings between yellow heterozygous (A^y^/a) mice were recovered at 56 hours __post coitum__, cultured for five days, and compared with the development of embryos from three control matings (A^y^/a โ ร a/a โ, a/a โ ร A^y^/a โ, a/a โ ร a/a โ). Most embryos we
Having found that tissues from chick embryos grow readily in artificial media, nutrient agar and bouillon,l the next step was the attempt to cultivate such tissues in media all the constituents of which are known. In collaboration with Dr. Arthur Koelker we were able to obtain excellent growth in co
