title: Skeletal development in the foetal and neonatal marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).
abstract: Qualitative and quantitative measurements of skeletal development were performed on foetal marmosets in utero and on fixed specimens of both foetuses and neonates. The sequence of skeletal changes may be used to assess developmental status and the prenatal growth of the marmoset is compared with that of other primate species.
