Abstract
IN 1890 and 1897, Heape1 demonstrated the unimportance of somatic tissue to the germ cells by his successful transplantation of rabbit ova to a uterine foster mother. In 1934, Pincus and Enzmann2 obtained normal young by transplanting rabbit ova fertilized or cultured in vitro. Recently3, I reported normal development of ova stored at low temperature, and an optimal temperature for storage. I now have data on the probability of normal development after various treatments.
