The ultracentrifugal analysis of thymus and bursal ribosomes in the developing chicken shows single ribosomes, dimers and polysomes in both organs. This pattern does not change until 60 days after hatching. On the 100th day the thymus ribosomes remain unchanged whereas the bursal pattern shows only trace amounts of monomers and dimers. Possible relationships between the ribosomal patterns and the functions of the two organs have been discussed.
