Early Development of the Shoulder Girdle and Sternum in Marsupials (Mammalia: Metatheria)

The development of the breast-shoulder apparatus in the Marsupialia was inves­ tigated and compared with the conditions in Monotremata and Placentalia. The results were achieved by the investigation of material comprising altogether 109 histological seria
