Conclusions. 



1. The mortality of completely depancreatized dogs after liga- 

 tion of the thyroid arteries is high. 



2. Glycosuria in depancreatized diabetic dogs was checked 

 after complete ligation of the thyroid arteries. 



3. Tetany or infection, or both, seem to interfere with the 

 disappearance of the glycosuria. 



4. Partial ligation of the thyroid arteries apparently intensifies 

 the diabetes produced by pancreatectomy.
