By following up histologically a localized storage of melanin in certain layers of the nail plate the differing theories on the cellular kinetics of the growth of human nail plate are checked up. Thus it turns out that the hitherto existing and even contradicting conceptions are not helpful to interpret uniquely the morphological phenomena of the concrete case. A plausible modification is presented.
