Six- to 15-day blastemata of regenerating forelimbs of Amblystoma larvae were deplanted to the dorsal fin region both with and without their stumps attached. With stump present the deplant regenerates developed skeletal and muscular elements of the limb. In the absence of stump tissues no blastema developed a musculature whereas blastemata of all ages gave rise to elements of the forelimb skeleton.
