✦ Synopsis

Previous work from this laboratory demonstrated a relation between ability to regenerate a limb and number of nerve fibers available per unit area of amputation wound. Animals with fewer fibers than the newt, Triturus, (for example, Rana, Anolis, and Mus) do not regrow the limb. An exception appeared in Xenopus whose limb is sparsely innervated and yet which regenerates. The present work demonstrates that the nerve fibers of Xenopus make up in individual size what they lack in number. When the average cross-sectional area of the axons was multiplied by the number of fibers per unit area, the results showed that the Xenopus limb is about as well supplied with axoplasm as that of Triturus. This was not true for Rana. The results also demonstrate for the first time a direct relation between caliber and trophic effectiveness of the axon, the evolutionary significance of which is discussed.

## Abstract Three amputation surfaces were formed on the lower arm of a single newt. Growth occurred on all combinations of these surfaces. The proximal surface (the only single surface to form regenerates) produced more regenerates (76% of the cases) than the two more distal surfaces. Blocking the
