Abstract
Weiss and Matoltsy1 have reported that wounds in chick embryos fail to exhibit healing prior to about the twelfth day of incubation, but that by the sixteenth day of incubation the mechanisms of healing appeared to be fully developed. This observation appears to have additional significance in relation to some of our work on the synthesis of sulphated polysaccharides in the tissues of embryos and young animals.
