Abstract
The fern-like crystals occurring in the process of drying rabbit seminal plasma have been studied in ejaculates collected before and after intramuscular injections of steroid hormones. Injections of testosterone increase and of oestradiol monobenzoate tend to increase while injections of progesterone tend to decrease the proportions of crystals of type R.
