The assay of the growth-promoting principle of the anterior pituitary has received attention in only a few reports. These have been reviewed by van Dyke (1), and since his review was written no new data specifically bearing on this problem have been published. The purpose of our communication is to record attempts quantitatively to assay the hormone in normal and hypophysectomized rats.
