Abstract
When an extract of 3 or 8 mgm. of pituitary powder per kilogram is injected intravenously into anesthetized cats or dogs, 30 per cent or less of the oxytocic principle is eliminated in the urine within two hours. These experiments also show that the oxytocic principle can be inactivated by the polypeptidases present in tissues.
