A trophoblasthormone was made from human placental tissue or hydatid mole hp means of acet,one-benzoic acid extraction. The solution obtained was colorless with a pR of 5.8 to 6.0. It could be injected into human beings without adverse generalized body reaction. The strength of the solution was determined by the induction of follicle bleeding in a rabbit, a unit being taken to be the minimal amount required to cause follicle bleeding In 9 patients with carcinoma of the cervix, treated 48 hours after one subcutaneous injection. with various dosages and at various times with trophohlasthormone, follicle bleeding ‘IWS instituted in 6, and luteinization of the theca cells occurred in 3. The author estimated that it was necessary to inject 150 units or more to obtain follicle bleeding. He was unable to induce luteinization of the granulosa cells and ovulation did not occur. LOUIS M.

Ovulation After Unilateral Oophorectomy as Determined by Whitelaw, M. James: Endometrial Biopsy and Basal Body Temperature, Surg., Gynec. & Ohst. 92: 747, 3951. In an attempt to study ovarian function after removal of one ovary the author has st,udied 42 women, all under 30 years of age, who had had one ovary removed eight or more months prior to the investigation. Although there mere no control studies on these individual patients, a group of a like number of postpartum patients under 30 years of age was selected at random. One hundred sixty-eight biopsies were done on the 42 Iv-omen .who had been operated upon, covering four consecutive cycles. The author was unable to show any difference in the endometrial pattern of the lvomen who had had one ovary removed as compared with the control group. In the total series of 350 biopsies, slightly less than 0.9 per cent showed an anovulatory cycle. There was no difference between the control group and the group of LOUIS M. HELTX~N women who had been operated upon.
