Abstract
IT was thought that transplants of tumour into the uterine cavities of pseudopregnant mice might simulate the invasive properties of the embryonic trophoblast sufficiently to throw light on the uterine reactions involved in the implantation of the embryo. Since the initial results of these studies, which are still in progress, appear to show clearly that the site of implantation is determined by the uterus, a preliminary report may be justified.
