In animal life, growth manifests itself in many ways, and accordingly, has been defined from many points of view. Richard and Kavanagh (1945) define growth as "an attribute of living organisms manifested by a change in size of the individual or in the number of organisms in a unit of environment". Sholl (1950) and Medawar (1950) agree with this definition while some authors have considered certain important chemical processes to be characteristic of growth, for instance protein synthesis (Boell, 1955) and DNA synthesis (Davidson, 1950). Weiss (1949), bearing in mind these varied attempts to grasp the concept of growth, wrote the following comment.
