Abstract:
1. Studies of effects produced by magnetic fields on developing chickens have been reviewed. 2. Compilations of the variety of field conditions utilized, and of the consequences of the tested conditions on the embryo, are reported in tabular form for comparison. 3. The developmental consequences, if any, of the fields are also reported, as are those aspects of timing and morphogenesis deemed important in this area. 4. More recent information on biochemical changes in embryos exposed to magnetic fields is included and given weight as a growing aspect of this scientific field of study.
