Abstract
Catherine J. Hill is best remembered for her dedication to cataloguing the comprehensive embryological collection of her father J. P. Hill. Yet, her own research, during the interwar years, is little known. She made a significant contribution to interpreting the autonomic innervation of the gut, work that was presented to The Royal Society and earned her a PhD. Working in her father's laboratory, she then set about solving the sequence of secretions from the tubal epithelium and uterine glands that contributed the two layers of egg albumen and three shell layers of the monotreme egg. She was also the first to understand twinning in the marmoset and how two embryos came to share a single extraembryonic coelom, work that often is credited to J. P. Hill. Here. I explain how that happened and explore the context in which she and other female scientists worked at the time.
凯瑟琳-J-希尔（Catherine J. Hill）因致力于为其父 J. P. 希尔（J. P. Hill）的全面胚胎学收藏编目而为人们所熟知。然而，她自己在战时的研究却鲜为人知。她在解释肠道自律神经支配方面做出了重大贡献，这项研究成果被提交给英国皇家学会，并为她赢得了博士学位。随后，她在父亲的实验室工作，着手解决输卵管上皮和子宫腺体分泌物的顺序问题，这些分泌物形成了单性卵的两层卵蛋白和三层卵壳。她也是第一个了解狨猴孪生以及两个胚胎如何共用一个胚外腔的人。在这里。我将解释这一切是如何发生的，并探讨她和其他女科学家当时的工作背景。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Morphology welcomes articles of original research in cytology, protozoology, embryology, and general morphology. Articles generally should not exceed 35 printed pages. Preliminary notices or articles of a purely descriptive morphological or taxonomic nature are not included. No paper which has already been published will be accepted, nor will simultaneous publications elsewhere be allowed.
The Journal of Morphology publishes research in functional, comparative, evolutionary and developmental morphology from vertebrates and invertebrates. Human and veterinary anatomy or paleontology are considered when an explicit connection to neontological animal morphology is presented, and the paper contains relevant information for the community of animal morphologists. Based on our long tradition, we continue to seek publishing the best papers in animal morphology.
