Abstract
IT has been shown1 that if the parathyroid glands of young mice are attached to small, excised pieces of parietal bone, and the two grafted together to the cerebral hemisphere of a litter-mate, intense osteoclastic resorption of the bone in the immediate vicinity of the gland is demonstrable after 10–14 days. The same method has now been used to study the local action of calciferol, vitamin A and œstradiol on bone.
