Abstract
Expts. with 7 birds indicated that the testis can respond to follicle-stimulating hormone during the period when this species of sparrow is refractory to increasing light dosages. Both immature and adult birds were included in the expt. The possibility that the testis at that time is unresponsive to gonadotropic hormone of its own pituitary has not been excluded.Keywords
