To study the influence of the peripheral fields on the development of the spinal cord, the right wing bud was extirpated in 72-hr. chick embryos, and the nervous system examined 5-6 days later. The spinal ganglia of brachial nerves 13-16 show a hypoplasia in volume of 37-54%. The right half of the spinal cord is considerably smaller than the left. Cell counts revealed a marked hypoplasia in the ant. and the post. horn. The median part of the spinal cord is not affected. The problem of the mechanism of the embryonic correlation between the peripheral fields and the C. N. S. was approached by comparing the quantitative variations in both systems. The number of cells in the ant. horn varies in close quantitative relation to the actual loss of the mass of muscles in the operated region. The loss of muscles ranges from 96% to 31%, the hypoplasia of the corresponding motor neurones ranges from 61% to 22%. This fact suggests that each peripheral field controls the quantitative development of its own nerve center.
