Abstract
This note clarifies two issues raised by an earlier paper by the same author. (1) Adult males and adult neonatally androgenized females caged continuously with prepubertal females both provide the young females with male-like contact stimulation. (2) The data in the earlier paper are not sufficient to draw conclusions regarding any connections between earlier sexual maturation in young female mice and the male-like contact stimulation. The data of the earlier experiments and the experiment presented in this note do support the conclusion that the accelerated sexual development of young female mice in the presence of an adult male involves more than just a male urinary pheromone.
