Abstract
1. The intraperitoneal injection of fresh anterior hypophyseal fluid retards the environmentally-induced metamorphosis of the Colorado (New Mexican) axolotl. 2. The metamorphic stimulus afforded by a small but effective thyroid dosage can be neutralised, physiologically, the axolotl by the injection of fresh anterior pituitary fluid.Keywords
