Before taking up the matter of the transparent chamber technique a word should be said for its immediate ancestor, namely, the method of studying the living vessels in the tails of amphibian larvae. While this method of study is more than 10.0 years old, having been used by Schwann and Kiilliker in the 1830s and’~ OS, it was revived just a little after the turn of the century as a result of the discovery, by JJ Abell, of a new form of anesthetic, namely chloretone, a stable form of chloraform. In the laboratory of Franklin P. Mall, ait the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Ross G. Harrison (’08) in 1907 watched, for several days in individual tadpoles, the manner of nerve regeneration. In the spring of the following year, also in Dr. Mall’s laboratory and at his inspiration, I started studies on the tadpole’s tail, using a vertical chamber and the new anesthetic, chloretone. Observations were made as follows.(ER Clark’09 and’12). The microscope was placed on a stand with the tube horizontal, at the eye level of the seated observer. The tadpole, anesthetized in 1 to 3000, to 1 to 5000 chloretone, was placed, still in the chloretone solution, in a small micro-aquarium built up on a 2 inch by 3 inch glass slide containing a space about 5 niin from front to back, 4 ern long and 2 ern high. The tadpole was kelk motionless and in contact with the cover-glass or mica forming the front of the aquarium, by a narrow sliver of cover-glass which rested on the bottom of the aquarium and was pressed lightly against the tail.
