The technique of graphical reconstruction by orthogonal projection of serial sections is used to generate three‐dimensional models of embryonic chick thigh musculature at Hamburger‐Hamilton ('51) stages 36 (day 10) and 39 (day 13). Unique and conserved anatomical landmarks are described, which can be used to specify position along the proximo‐distal axis of the thigh from cross‐sectional appearance. These landmarks provide an important reference for both current and future experimentation in which a precise developmental site must be systematically and repeatedly sampled.
