Abstract
SEVERAL of us at the Harvard Medical School have been interested for some years in the study of the antlers of deer. We have attempted more especially to analyze by experimental means the factors controlling the annual renewal, growth, and shedding of the antlers. For this purpose, we have availed ourselves of a group of Virginia or white-tailed deer kept in captivity at the Wildlife Research Center, Delmar, N. Y. The present investigations have been concerned with the effects of castration upon the growth of the antlers of deer at different ages and times of the year, as well as with the effects of testosterone propionate administered to both normal and castrated male and female deer.
