| Title | Printed proof, 'Preliminary note on the transplantation and growth of mammalian ova within a uterine foster-mother' by Walter Heape |
| Date | 1890 |
| Description | Heape writes: 'In this preliminary note I wish merely to record an experiment by which it is shown that it is possible to make use of the uterus of one variety of rabbit as a medium for the growth and complete foetal development of fertilised ova of another variety of rabbit. Briefly, the experiment made was as follows:—On the 27th April, 1890, two ova were obtained from an Angora doe rabbit which had been fertilised by an Angora buck thirty-two hours previously; the ova were undergoing segmentation, being divided into four segments.'
