hide of the C-E was observed on the second day after the 

 injection of anterior lobe extract was begun, but this effect 

 diminished as the therapy was continued, and soon disap- 

 peared altogether. The reflex was aroused slightly during 

 the administration of the two extracts simultaneously, but 

 this again was quite transient. After the cessation of the 

 treatment the response disappeared completely.

 cessation of the formerly vigorous conditioned defensive reaction following the 

 operation. Neither gland substance had any pronounced effect on the dormant 

 reaction. 



It is important that although the two different types of 

 conditioned reaction deteriorated to a marked degree after 

 the operation, the animal's behavior in the kennel, towards 

 both food and punishment, did not appear to be affected. 

 When a pan of food was held for the dog to see and smell, 

 he showed every sign of being hungry, that is, stared fixedly
