Abstract
One of the simplest experiments available to embryologists is to subject embryos to abnormal temperatures. It is well known that raised temperatures tend to speed up development of anamniotes and reduced temperatures to lower it. To some extent the same is true for amniotes. Chick embryos incubated at slightly raised temperatures develop faster, and at reduced temperatures more slowly, (Landauer, 1948).
