Abstract
IT has been repeatedly shown1 that the administration of progesterone in amounts of 15–20 mgm. to normal adult baboons in the first part of the cycle (eighth-tenth day) will cause the turgescent perineum to undergo deturgescence, and premature bleeding supervenes within 5–8 days of the last injection. Any quantity of progesterone more than 3 mgm. and less than 15 mgm. will only cause perineal deturgescence.
