at necropsy when the total number of visible tumours (‘active centres") was counted. In our rat colony two “spontaneous' rmammary cancers have been observed among about 20,000 untreated female rats less than eight months of age. But benign mammary tumours occur very frequently in this strain in senescence".3-Methylcholanthrene. A single feeding of 3-MC (100 mgm.) induced cancer in 100 female rats, aged 50–65 days, in 10 consecutive series; no tumours were observed in 20 males treated similarly. The rats suffered a decline in body-weight (total loss 10–15 gm.) for 48 hr. after the feeding, but a gain in weight was observed on day 3. In these series o females, mammary cancer was observed in every rat and squamous carcinoma of sebaceous glands adjacent to the external auditory canal in two of them; no other tumours were found. The earliest mammary cancer was detected by palpation on day 31, and the last was observed on day 130. But in serial histo-logical sections of the inguinal mammary glands o 10 rats, 14 days after a single feeding of 3-MC, carcinomata were found in two of the glands on microscopic examination. The squamous carcinomata of sebaceous glands appeared, respectively, on days 109 and 121.
