Abstract
OF all the fœtal systems, the cardiovascular has been the most provocative of theorizing. Its anatomy is linked with such names as Galen, Fallopius, Vesalius, Harvey, Lower, His, Born and Tandler, its physiology with Galen, Harvey, Méry, Wolff, Haller and Sabatier. As regards the experimental approach, Wilhelm Preyer's masterly work, "Specielle Physiologie des Embryo" (1885), still remains unique.
