Abstract
IT is somewhat puzzling to notice that J. A. Shannon on p. 312 of the latest (1942) volume of the “Annual Review of Physiology” regards it as established that the kidney can excrete the antidiuretic principle of the posterior pituitary lobe, whereas J. P. Peters on p. 110 of the same volume appears to regard this as at least extremely doubtful. In neither case is the conclusion supported by a full reference to the work published on the subject. It may, therefore, be worth while to enumerate the papers concerned with the renal excretion of posterior pituitary extracts in the hope that such a survey will clear the issue.
