Pancreatic development is reviewed in man, mammals, and birds. Anatomical differences and differing topography of pancreatic excretory ducts are described in a series of mammalian species. Species differences are discussed with respect to their embryological significance. The developmental potency of the hepatopancreatic ring is stressed. Cytodifferentiation of exocrine and endocrine cells is considered. Microsc. Res. Tech. 37:374–383, 1997. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
