Abstract
IN a previous communication in this journal1, we reported the evidence from autoradiography for a selective occurrence of organic iodine in the pituitary of guinea pigs injected with a dose of 250 μC. carrier-free iodine-131. During the past year, we have repeated and extended2 our experiments to check a few points which were not clear, namely, the bad reproducibility of the autoradiographs and the lack of agreement with the subsequent findings of other workers3.
