Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS have been made using the model for the growth of all abnormal cells suggested by Williams and Bjerknes1. They showed that the mathematics of the problem remained largely the same for different cell lattices, and so, for reasons of programming simplicity, consideration is limitted to growths on square lattices.
