Extract

The object of the present paper is to put upon record for the guinea-pig data which I have collected regarding (1) the relation between the number of young in a litter and the number of corpora lutea of pregnancy in the ovaries, (2) the distribution of corpora lutea between the two ovaries in two successive ovulations, and (3) the utilisation of the uterine horns in successive pregnancies. The data were obtained in the course of other researches and are arranged in tabular form (Tables I and II). The records from which they have been collected refer to 40 female guinea-pigs killed post partum, of which 16 were pregnant and 24 had not been reimpregnated. The size of the previous litter is known for 38 of these females; both ovaries were serially sectioned at 10 microns in the 40 animals, but in 4 the records of only one ovary were preserved.
