Abstract
After bilateral sympathectomy from the level of the renal arteries through the pelvis (including the pelvic nerve) 10 normal adult $ rats did not show the normal correspondence between oestrus and lengthened Achilles reflex time; the length of the normal oestrous cycle was not altered. Hence it seems highly probable that certain influences of the ovarian hormones on the higher nervous levels are effected through the sympathetic connections and are not in the nature of direct stimuli.
