In a previous paper (7) it was noted that a biop sy specimen of a human epidermoid carcinoma, originally implanted subcutaneously in a single cortisone-treated rat, had so increased by the 8th and 9th transfer generations in cortisonized ani mals that it was being carried by 150 rats and hamsters. It was hoped that this tumor would be come the first of a line of transplantable human neoplasms, a wish which has been fulfilled, since H.Ep. #1 (human epidermoid carcinoma #1, as it is now designated) is in its 18th month of quantity production in tissue culture. Subsequent to this first report of a human tu mor regularly transplantable in laboratory ani mals, preliminary accounts (8, 9) were given of other human cancers which had been developed to the point where, as transplantable tumors, they could be employed for experimental pur poses. Two of these neoplasms, a soft part sarcoma (H.S. #1), which has now been transferred for 16 months, and an epidermoid carcinoma (H.Ep. #3), which has been transferred for more than 5 months, are growing so vigorously that they kill their animal hosts 10-15 days after implantation. Within this short period they may increase as much as 80or even 100-fold in mass. Both tumors are being produced in large quantities and are in wide use in this Institution and in laboratories throughout the country. For this reason, they will be described in some detail. Three other cancers, the original epidermoid carcinoma already men tioned (H.Ep. #1), as well as another epidermoid carcinoma designated as H.Ep. #2 and an embry onal rhabdomyosarcoma (H.Emb.Rh. #1) have a more moderate growth rate and are in limited use at present. They will be mentioned briefly as a
