Abstract
Summary
Anterior lobes of pituitaries of adult fowl (as fresh implants or powdered and injected in salt solution), or of young chick pituitaries (if a sufficient number of glands is implanted daily), will cause ovulation out of season in Triturus viridescens females. The thyroids of these females are stimulated beyond thenormal condition. These results indicate that no specificity of hormone or hormones in ovulation-inducing and thyroid-stimulating capacities exists between birds and amphibians.
