In the course of experiments made in 1908 at The Rockefeller Institute certain relations existing between the size of a wound and the rate of cicatrization were studied. The experiments showed that the rate of repair was greater at the beginning than at the end of cicatrization, and depended not on the age of the wound but on its size, being directly proportional to it. l The skin of mammals seemed therefore to regenerate according to a law similar to that found by Spallanzani for salamanders. The experiments made lately by Spain and Loeb showed that in the guinea pig the same relation existed between the size of a wound and the rate of repair. 2 The object of the following experiments was to find a technique by which the size of a wound could be measured accurately, to ascertain whether the curve representing the cicatrization was geometric in form, and to study the relations between the size of a wound and the velocity of repair, as well as the relative importance of the processes of contraction and epidermization.EXPERIMENTAL.
