During the locomotion on a plane surface of fibroblast-like cells from embryonic chick heart and neonatal mouse muscle, any point on the leading edge undergoes a repetitive protrusion and withdrawal, covering about 5 μm which is quantitatively very similar in the two kinds of cell. The average duration of this irregular, probably largely random fluctuation is about 4 min. There are also periods of standstill of the edge, again occurring irregularly except that they rarely occur during a phase of withdrawal; they average about one every 8 min. The net forward displacement of the fluctuating edge results, not from a greater speed of forward than of backward movement, but from a greater time spent moving forward than backward. There is a high degree of independence in movement at points 6 μm apart on the edge.
