Table 2. List of hospitals and laboratories contributing embryological material

Table 2 gives a list of the contributing hospitals, with the number of specimens from each. As would be expected, the majority of the specimens came from hospitals located in Baltimore; second in order is New York, and third Manila, Philippine Islands. Naturally, the Johns Hopkins Hospital contributes the largest number, for its work is intimately related to our own and the members of its staff frequently are interested in embryological studies, both in this laboratory and in the clinical laboratories of the hospital. Hence we receive all of the embryological specimens found at operation.

Attention is called to the large number of specimens emanating from a single hospital in Manila. This is due to the fact that this hospital numbers among its staff several graduates from the Johns Hopkins Medical School, and these have responded loyally to our request for Filipino embryos for a study of racial embryology.
