THE INTESTINAL HORMONE. (See also the "general" 

 references above.) Two of the papers by Bayliss and Star- 

 ling are "The Mechanism of Pancreatic Secretion" 

 (Journal of Physiology, volume 28, page 325, 1902) and 

 "The Chemical Regulation of the Secretory Process" 

 (Proceedings of the Royal Society, section B, volume 73, 

 page 310, 1904). The books on physiology by Bayliss and 

 by Starling, referred to under "general" references, give 

 good accounts of the discovery and action of eecretin. 



THE THYMUS, SPLEEN, MAMMARY GLAND, PINEAL AND 

 KIDNEY. (See the "general" references above.) Quite a 

 number of investigators are busying themselves with the 

 problem of the function of the thymus. See, for example, 

 J. A. Hammar (Endocrinology, volume 5, page 543, 1921), 

 E. Uhlenhuth (Endocrinology, volume 3, page 284, 1919), 

 and M. B. Gordon (Endocrinology, volume 2, page 405, 

 1919). "Is there a thymic hormone?" asks Hoskins (En- 

 docrinology, volume 2, page 241, 1918) ; he is inclined to 

 answer in the negative. See, also, Crotti's book, The 

 Thyroid and the Thy mm (Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia), 

 and an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical 

 Association (volume 77, page 2063, 1921). 



N. B. Eddy (Endocrinology, volume 5, page 461, 1921) 

 reviews the functions of the spleen. Sir Berkeley Moyni- 

 ham (W. B. Saunders Co., Philadelphia), and Pearce, 

 Krumbhaar and Frazier (J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadel- 

 phia) are authors of books dealing with the spleen. 



Two articles on the pineal, that also include the litera- 

 ture, are Horrax's "Studies on the Pineal Gland" (Ar-
