An experimental study was made of post-partum endometrial regeneration in twenty-one healthy guinea-pigs and in twenty healthy rats. To serve as controls, one guinea-pig was killed on the day of parturition and another 6½ days following parturition: three rats were killed on the day of parturition and one 6½ days following parturition. All the remaining animals were ovariectomized. Groups of three were killed at the following intervals after parturition, viz.: 22, 40, 58, 84 hr. and 6½ days. In each group, one animal was left uninjected, another injected with oestrogenic hormone and the third injected with corpus luteum hormone. Endometrial regeneration appeared to proceed normally in all the animals.
