Abstract
IN lower vertebrates, structures homologous to the adrenal gland of higher vertebrates remain separated throughout life. In the dogfish, for example, an unpaired inter-renal body representing the adrenal cortex is quite separate from the chromafnn bodies or rudimentary adrenal medulla. Extracts of each component can therefore be made without contamination by the other part.
