1905.] the Interstitial Cells of the Ovary in the Rabbit. 55 



4. About the twenty-third day some of the interstitial cells become cut off 

 near the periphery and pass through the nuclear transformations of ovogenesis, 

 becoming true ova. 



I wish to express my deep obligation to Professor Starling, under whose 

 supervision this research has been carried out, and without whose never- 

 failing assistance, interest, and sympathy at each step of the work 

 it would have been impossible to carry out the investigations described 

 above. 



Also I desire to thank Mr. H. G. Plimmer for his kindness in giving me 

 much valuable information in regard to the carrying out of the histological 

 details.
