Abstract
TEN female rabbits were used in this experiment, three immature, three œstrous and four pseudopregnant. The rabbits were rendered pseudopregnant by electrical stimulation of the uterine cervix with a 4.5-V. tetanic current. They were then kept until the eighth day, when the corpus luteum is fully developed1. The reproductive state was confirmed by histological examination of the ovaries.
