SUMMARY

Adrenal glands of lizards (Lacerta viridis L.) and snakes (Natrix natrix L.) were incubated in media containing tritiated progesterone. Aldosterone, corticosterone and an unknown steroid were produced. Added ACTH did not affect, though added amphenone markedly reduced, the rate of steroid production.
