| Title | Manuscript, 'On the inversion of the blastodermic layers in the rat and mouse' by Alexander Fraser |
| Creator | Fraser; Alexander (fl 1882) |
| Date | 1882 |
| Description | Fraser writes: 'Having been engaged since May, 1881, in the investigation of the early placentation in some of the Rodentia, rat, mouse, and guinea-pig, in which it presents peculiar features, I was so fortunate in the commencement of July of the present year to ascertain the fact that in the common grey rat and its white variety, an arrangement of the blastodermic layers existed, similar to that which had been known in the guinea-pig since the publication of Bischoff’s observations in 1852.'
