Whether all of the heterotopic limbs of this series received thenormal segmental nerve contribution cannot be definitely stated. TRANSPLANTATION OF LIMBS IN AMBLYSTOMA 135 If SO, the 16 per cent which exhibited impaired function is mosthkely a result of structural deficiencies in the girdle and shouldermuscles or is due to defective peripheral
