There is a marked and most unfortunate dichotomy in the studies of
avian eggs and hence in the application of new findings in
commerce. Thus over the past twenty years there has been a renewed
interest in the contribu tions of various parts of an egg to embryo
development. This is best illustrated by those studies that have
explored the diffusion of respiratory gases across the shell and at
long last have provided a fundamental definition of a previously
nebulous term, porosity. The activity in this general area has led
in the past four years to the publication of three major books
dealing with many aspects of egg structure, function and
embryogenesis. When brows ing over these books, two developments
are evident. First, the advantages that are to be gained by
comparative studies. Thus it is now common to see within a single
book articles concerned with the eggs of a range of avian species
as well as those of reptiles. Second, it is evident that zoologists
and physiologists as well as those employed in large breeding firms
are all contributing to an improvement of our knowledge of the
egg's role in the breeding biology of birds. Comparative studies
are a very uncommon feature of studies concerned with bacterial
infection of eggs."
