    Abstract

    This paper provides a detailed description of the dissociation and maintenance in culture of cells derived from embryonic tissue and from the central nervous system of adult housefly, Musca domestica. Dissociation of embryonic tissue produced several cell types ot which muscle and neurone-like cells predominated. These cells were morphologically distinct once development had started in vitro with muscle cells often producing rhythmic contractions. Neurones had small cell bodies (
