Abstract
THE hypothesis has recently been put forward that there is an inward cell migration in the adrenal cortex. According to Zwemer et al.1,2, in several species capsular cells multiply and move inwards, becoming in turn cells of the glomerular, fascicular and reticular layers. In guinea pigs Blumenthal3 found that there is a zone of mitotic activity comprising the inner glomerular and outer fascicular layers, and Hoerr4 found after chloroform narcosis increased mitotic activity in the outer fascicular layer.
