    Notes: In this work, we have completed a study of the development of the ovoviviparous lizard Liolaemus tenuis tenuis. Ovoviviparity in this lizard is a condition in which eggs are retained within the reproductive duct for about 60 days. During this period the phases of segmentation, gastrulation, neurulation, presomitic, and somitic embryos transpire. During the months of December and January the eggs are laid, and at this time the embryos are comparable to stage 27 Liolaemus gravenhorsti lizard embryos, or to stage 29 Calotes versicolor lizard embryos. Differentiation of the facial region occurs between Days 12 and 42 after egg laying. Limbs develop rapidly between the 8th and 23rd days. By 53 days the appendicular skeleton is completely formed. After 36 days the mesonephros begins to degenerate, and its function is gradually taken over by the developing metanephros. Newborn lizards do not possess an egg caruncle. During the period up to hatching, there is a great increase of liquid within the egg, presumably amniotic fluid. Cracks develop in the leathery shell shortly before hatching and are, perhaps, the first sign of the onset of hatching. Increase of liquid in the egg during postlaying development accounts for its increase in weight and change in shape. Weight of the embryo at hatching does not exceed 32% of the total weight of the egg.

    Notes: Epinephrine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) stimulated 3H-glycerol uptake into phosphatidylinositol of human platelets. Yohimbine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist, markedly reduced epinephrine-stimulated 3H-glycerol uptake into phosphatidylinositol; while prazosin, an alpha-1 antagonist, was without effect. Likewise, yohimbine, but not prazosin, blocked epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation. Furthermore, clonidine, a specific agonist for alpha-2 adrenoceptors, stimulated incorporation of-3H-glycerol into phosphatidylinositol and promoted platelet aggregation in the presence of low concentrations of ADP. These studies indicate that the effects of epinephrine on platelet aggregation and phosphatidylinositol synthesis are mediated through alpha-2 adrenoceptors. Further, since the stimulation of phosphatidylinositol synthesis seen with epinephrine was also observed with ADP, this suggests that the increased 3H-glycerol labeling is an indirect result of platelet aggregation.

    Notes: Drosophila flies placed in a habitat with two lateral boxes demonstrated sensitivity to magnetic fields: Oviposition decreased by exposure to pulsated extremely low frequency (ELF) (100)Hz, 1.76 miliTesla (mT) and sinusosidal fields (50 Hz, 1 mT), while there was no initial effect of exposure to a static magnetic field (4.5 mT). Drosophila eggs treated for 48 h with the above described fields showed that (1) mortality of eggs was lower in controls than in eggs exposed to all tested magnetic fields; (2) mortality of larvae increased when a permanent magnet was used; (3) mortality of pupae was highest when a permanent magnet was used; and (4) general adult viability was highest in controls (67%) and diminished progressively when eggs were exposed to pulsated (55%), sinusoidal (45%), and static (35%) magnetic fields.
