ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Editor wishes to express his sincere appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Earl L. Green, Director, The Jackson Laboratory, for his support; Mr. Thomas Hyde and Mrs. Susan Myers for their untiring efforts in various phases of the Conference. Sincere thanks are extended also to Dr. R. L. Norman, Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, and Dr. Mark Krista1, The Jackson Laboratory, for assistance in compiling this volume. Finally, appreciation and gratitude are expressed to the speakers and all other participants who came to Bar Harbor from all corners of our globe, often with very little or no direct financial support from the Conference. Truly, all were amygda10phi1es above and beyond the call of duty.
