Changes in apparently healthy hamsters, consistent with proteinuria, are reported, but no IgG deposits or amyloid in the glomeruli were detected. Further investigation is required into the significance and the aetiology of these, as yet, obscure alterations.

The anatomy and development of the inner ear in dreher (dr/dr) mice has been described in detail by Fischer (1956, 1957, 1958). The abnormalities first appear at the 10-day stage, and consist in the retarded development of Anson's folds (Anson, 1934). In the adult labyrinth the cochlear tube is shorter than normal and not so tightly coiled, the scala media opens widely into the sacculus without the intervention of a ductus reuniens, and the sacculus similarly opens into the utriculus without saccular and utricular ducts. These abnormalities may be viewed as signs of an incomplete or weak differentiation of the otic vesicle. As it is known from experiments on amphibians and birds that the differentiation of the otic vesicle into a multi-chambered labyrinth depends on the inductive influence of the neural tube (Harrison, 1945; Detwiler & van Dyke, 1950; Yntema, 1950), and as there is some evidence that this is also true of mammals (Deol, 1964), it was thought that an examination of the neural tube in dreher mice in early stages of development would be desirable.

The treatment of amphibian and chick embryos during the early stages of development with small concentrations of benzimidazole, and some of its derivatives, results in the formation of abnormal embryos (Liedke, Engleman, & Graff, 1954; Waddington, Feldman, & Perry, 1955a; Billett & Perry, 1957 a, b). The gross effects produced by these substances are of a fairly general kind. Abnormal gastrulation, decomposition of neurulae, and microcephaly are produced in Amphibia. Rather less well-defined abnormalities, involving the head, neural tube, and somites, are seen in the chick. The way in which these abnormalities are produced is not known. The idea that benzimidazole acts simply as a purine anti-metabolite is not well founded (Slonimski, 1954). The work of Tamm and his colleagues (Tamm, Folkers, Shunk, & Horsfall, 1953; Tamm, 1958) has shown that benzimidazole and certain of its derivatives inhibit the growth of some viruses.
