Abstract
FOLLOWING the extensive quantitative investigations of Kindred1,2 on the frequency of mitosis in different lymphatic organs, it has been known that intense lymphocytopoiesis occurs in the thymus. This observation has repeatedly been confirmed by other workers, using the same as well as other methods for demonstration of lymphocytopoiesis3.
