Abstract
AS nothing seems to have been published in the literature on the hormone-producing organs in the whale, I submit a short communication of the preliminary results1 of my investigations on the subject. The endocrine organs were collected by me during a whaling expedition to the Antarctic. They were preserved in a frozen or dried condition or by means of alcohol for four to ten months before examination.
