THE EFFECT OF REMOVAL OF THE OLFACTORY BULBS ON THE GONADS OF MICE

W. K. WHITTEN

1. The ovaries and uteri of mature female mice rendered anosmic by removal of the olfactory bulbs were significantly smaller than those of control animals. Corpora lutea were absent or atrophic, and the vagina was closed in most of these animals.

2. No effect on the testes of anosmic males was observed. The accessory glands were lighter and contained less secretion, but the epithelium appeared unchanged.

3. Body weights of both male and female mice were reduced.
