Abstract
AN exception to the rule that tissue homografts in non-inbred mammals survive only for a few weeks has been observed in adrenal gland grafts transplanted from one adult rabbit to the skin of another. Such grafts live for many months, and appear to succumb finally to a type of disuse atrophy rather than to the usual homograft reaction.
