    Preface This book is on a very specialized topic. The few dozen people in the world who have worked with experimental chimaeras will share my enthusiasm for their beauty, their unexpectedness, the insight that they provide into old questions, and above all for the new questions that they continually raise, questions that one never dreamt existed in the days when an individual had two parents only. If this book communicates some part of this fascination to a few other people interested in mammalian development (and who isn't?), I shall be satisfied. My aim in the bibliography has been to include all papers published on primary chimaeras in mammals up to the end of 1974, thus enabling myself to throw out large numbers of reference cards. If I have missed any papers, my apologies to their authors. For the time and effort involved in reading chapters of the book in draft, and for their valuable comments, I am very grateful to Professor Donald Michie, Dr Richard Gardner, Dr Chris Graham, Dr Charles Ford, FRS, Dr Bruce Cattanach, Dr John West, Dr Katie Bechtol, Dr Ron Barnes and Professor David Newth. I would also like to thank Hilary Prout for her meticulous and enthusiastic typing and reference-chasing. September 1975 anne mclaren
