Abstract
RECENTLY Evans1 reported the existence of a new pituitary factor, the antagonist, which inhibits follicle development in infantile rats when simultaneously injected with follicle-stimulating extracts from various sources.

At about the same time, Bunde and Greep2 described a regression of persistent corpora lutea in the ovaries of hypophy-sectomized rats by the luteinizing fraction of pituitary extracts.
