Abstract
Air and liquid may be forced out of the Jacobson''s organs of rabbits under anesthesia, when their blood pressure is elevated by the pressor effect of adrenalin, as shown by 35 successful demonstrations [on 6 rabbits]. Drops of liquid (secretion) are drawn into the Jacobson''s organs of rabbits when the blood pressure recedes following the disappearance of the effect of the adrenalin [8 demonstrations on 2 rabbits]. The results of this research provide another line of evidence in support of the olfactory hypothesis for Jacobson''s organ.
