Abstract
AN extensive literature1 exists in which rodents and rabbits have been used for the production and study of congenital malformations. There is an urgent need for the provision of a suitable near-human model for research in teratology; this became most evident when critical testing in lower mammals failed to reveal the teratogenic properties exhibited in man by thalidomide.
