Aclmowledgements--We wish to thank Dr. Marvin H. Bernstein for his comments and discussion on the manuscript. We are indebted to Dr. Paul Siegel and Mr. Ted Sefton, Department of Poultry Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, who generously supplied the quail eggs. This work was supported by a grant from the Frank M. Chapman Memorial Fund, American Museum of Natural History.

N2 - 1. 1. During development, fertile Japanese quail eggs show some increase in resistance to cooling. 2. 2. During development, mean thyroid follicle cell height and total thyroidal iodine increase rapidly, until shortly before hatching. 3. 3. One to 2 days before hatching, follicle cell height and thyroidal iodine content are abruptly reduced, but both return to former levels on the day of hatching.
