Abstract
The inductive capacities of the basement membranes of calf kidney glomeruli and the dentine matrix of the incisors of 23 day rabbit fetuses were examined on the presumptive ectoderm of Triturus gastrulae. The basement membranes caused almost entirely neural induction and the dentine matrix caused mesodermal induction. Intercellular substances played an important role in the inductive effects of heterologous tissues.
