Wing and hind limb primordia of chick embryos (48 to 72 hrs. of incubation) were transplanted to the flank or into the coelom of host embryos of the same stages. In 149 cases (=25%) the transplants developed into normal limbs. Their innervation was studied in 32 cases. Transplants received their innervation from limb nerves or from trunk nerves or from a combination of both. Evidence was given for "attractive" forces which guide the outgrowing nerves toward the transplant. The ingrowing nerves formed a plexus before entering the transplant; they formed a normal nerve pattern within the transplant irrespective of their origin and their quantity. Their distr. was evidently detd. by the structures of the differentiating limb. Transplant nerves showed a definite but limited hyperplasia. Motility was found in numerous cases. Nerveless and poorly innervated limbs developed normally. Their morphogenesis was independent of innervation and, consequently, of function.
