Abstract

NORRIS has shown1 that a stimulus, probably chemical, produced by mature, yellow males of Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.) accelerates the maturation of immature males and females. In the present work, a volatile substance, which is produced all over the body, has been detected in yellow males. It is not yet possible to say whether the stimulus demonstrated by Norris and the volatile substance are identical, but they have certain properties in common.
