Summary Quail limb mesenchyme containing myogenic cells of somitic origin were transplanted into chick limb buds to determine whether cell movement might play a role in avian limb myogenesis. In general, cell displacement was not detected 1-day after implantation: all quail cells were found at the graft site. Migration was evident 2-days after implantation but not all cell types were capable of movement; myogenic cells were very invasive while chondrocytes were relatively immobile. The spreading of myogenic cells was discernible up to 4-days after implantation and specifically in a proximodistal direction towards the apex of the limb.
