Recently considerable attention has been directed towards the role of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) in the proximo-distal differentiation of limb parts. In the absence of the AER, which caps the distal tip of early limb buds, no terminal structures develop (Saunders,'48; Amprino and Camosso,'55a, b; Zwilling,'49,'55; Hampk,'56,'59). Implantation of proximal leg mesoderm in direct contact with the AER of the wing bud results in the formation of distal elements with leg characteristics (Saunders, Gasseling and Cairns,'55,'59; Saunders, Cairns and Gasseling,'57). Grafts of an AER on each lateral surface of a previously denuded limb mesoblast results in the development of duplicated limbs (Zwilling,'56a). In addition, a more extensive AER covers the distal part of both anterior and posterior limb buds in several polydactylous mutants (Zwilling and Hansborough,'56; Abbott, Taylor and Abplanalp,'60; Goetinck and Abbott)(in preparation) and is reduced or absent in hypodactylous mutants (Zwilling,'49,'56b). Because of these experimental results and observations, the AER has been considered as an inductor of limb outgrowth.While Amprino and Camosso ('55a, b) found that no distal outgrowth occurred after excision of the AER, they reported a variable amount of outgrowth if a few cell layers of underlying mesoderm were removed together with the ectoderm. These authors proposed that the amount of outgrowth obtained is inversely proportional to the amount of cell degeneration in the distal undetermined mesoderm, possibly as a consequence of its exposure to amniotic fluid. Accordingly. this group does not believe that the AER has an inductive
