Abstract
DURING attempts to modify the development of feather tracts, Saunders had noted the fact that skin wounds in three-day chick embryos failed to heal1. This casual observation, which contrasted curiously with the numerous reports on smooth healing of embryonic transplants and the repair of older skin, seemed to hold a promising clue to the mechanisms of wound healing in general. We therefore undertook a more systematic study of the phenomenon, the first results of which are reported in the following.
