LATERAL REGENERATLON Not only does regeneration take place in an antero-posterior direc^tion, but in many animals also at the side. The regeneration of thelimb of the salamander is, of course, a case of lateral regeneration in GENERAL INTRODUCTION II relation to the animal as a whole, but in a longitudinal directionin regard to the limb itself.
