Abstract
In a former communication1one of us reported a series of thirty-two cases in which suprarenal transplantation had been attempted. In this first series, a part of the animal's suprarenal was transplanted to its own kidney. At least one positive functional survival of such a graft was obtained. Partial proof of functionating suprarenal grafts was obtained in several other instances. The indication of successful transplantation, consists in survival of the animal, in the absence of all suprarenal tissue, other than that of the graft, and in the histologic demonstration of a living graft containing medullary cells. In the present series of thirty cases, transplantations have been made into the thyroids, testes and kidneys of dogs and rabbits, not only in the same animal, but also from one animal to another of the same species. The results of implantation into the testes and thyroids were all negative. Positive results were obtained
