✦ Synopsis

Serial hand-wrist x-rays of 81 pairs of twins were examined to investigate the genetics of ossification sequence polymorphism. Discordance in ossification sequence was 3.5 times more common between like-sex dizygotic twins than between monozygotic twins, with the difference being significant at the 0.01 level of confidence.

These findings support the contention that the major part of variation in ossification sequence is genetically determined.

The cleared and alizarin-stained feet of eight marmoset (Saguinus oedipus) fetuses revealed a sequence of initial ossification of the 19 bones of the foot that is almost totally different from that of man. The most striking difference is in the order of ossification of the distal phalanx of the big

## Abstract In the present study, sequence‐related amplification polymorphism (SRAP) was utilized to study the genetic variability among __Schistosoma japonicum__ isolates from different provinces in China, using __Schistosoma mansoni__ from Puerto Rico for comparison. Five out of ten tested SRAP p
