Abstract
IN an atlas of avian blood cell formation, Lucas and Jamroz1 have illustrated the erythrocytes of the chicken embryo during the course of development. I have reported similar observations2 and have extended the examination of these cells to include histochemical data3. The undisputed conclusion from these investigations is that there are two lines of erythroid cells during chicken embryogeny, with the definitive line replacing the primitive one at 6–8 days of development, except for some mature elements of the primitive series which persist until approximately the thirteenth day.
