Abstract
WHILE the importance of the hæmopoietic role of the fœtal liver is universally recognized, remarkably little precise information is available about the changing cytology of this organ during the course of development. The recent interest in techniques for the transfusion of suspensions of human fœtal liver, as a source of hæmopoietic stem-cells, has, however, made it desirable to study more fully the processes of fœtal blood formation.
