Abstract
SIXTEEN mature mongrel dogs were used in this experiment. They were obtained from the Isolation Hospital at Abbassia, Egypt. Three males and five females were obtained during the summer (August) ; four males and four females were obtained during the winter (January). The females were anœstrous, non-pregnant and non-lactating. The pituitaries of the dogs of the same sex and season were pooled, and equal parts of the plasma of individuals of the same group were also pooled.
