Abstract
The cell growth problem is a combinatorial problem which may be stated as follows: A plane animal is made up of cells, each of which is a square of unit area. It starts as a single cell, and grows by adding cells one at a time in such a way that the new cell has at least one side in contact with a side of a cell already present in the animal. The problem is to find the number of different animals of area n, it being understood that animals which can be transformed into each other by reflections or rotations of the plane will be regarded as the same animal.
