The occurrence of harelip and cleft palate has been reported in several species of mammals, including cattle, sheep, dogs, and lions (Rischbieth, '10). I n man the defect is a common one, and is generally recognized as due to hereditary causes. The exact manner of the inheritance, however, has been

## FIVE FIGURES It has been shown (Snell, '33, a and b) that when male mice are x-rayed with a dose of about 600 Roentgen units and mated before the onset of x-ray sterility to untreated females, approximately one-fourth of their offspring show a type of induced variation which coiisists of a tend
Forebrain overgrowth, fog, is a spontaneous autosomal recessive mutation in the mouse producing forebrain, lumbo-sacral, and facial defects. The defects appear to result from excessive growth or cellular proliferation leading to abnormalities in neural tube closure. Three unique features of the muta
TWENTY FIGURES Some time ago we described the hereditary transmission as well as the morphological effects of a recessis-e mutation phocomelia in the mouse '56). Newborn mice hornozygous for this mutation show severe malformations of the head skeleton as well as of the limbs; the presence of a cleft
We have created a transgenic mouse which showed an autosomal dominant mutation of facial development. This facial malformation was characterized by a short snout and a twisted upper jaw. All offspring showing the dysmorphic phenotype carried the injected gene. In order to analyze the primary cause o
