Abstract
LILLIE and Juhn1 suggested that the reactivity to ” strone sometimes manifested only on one side of a feather depends upon a low growth-rate of the tissue at the time, which rate they considered may be different on the two sides. These original views were immediately criticized by other workers 2,3. They seem to have been greatly modified in exhaustive papers by Fraps and Juhn4; but it does not appear that the senior author has abandoned them.
