Three groups of spayed $ rats were injected with various amts. of estrogen and of progesterone, and sexual receptivity was measured. 500 R.U. of estrogen produced some receptivity in 2 of 7 cases. The same amt. of estrogen followed by 0.5 mg of progesterone resulted in a much higher degree of receptivity in all 7 animals. 100 R.U. of estrogen and 0.5 mg of progesterone induced a low degree of receptivity in 6 of 7 cases. 500 R.U. of estrogen and 1 mg of progesterone caused the same animals to exhibit much more intense heat behavior. In the strain of animals studied the production of estrous behavior of normal intensity evidently involves the synergistic action of estrogen and progesterone.
