1. When a water extract of radial nerves of the starfish, Asterias amurensis, was locally applied to one part of an isolated whole ovary for an appropriate period and then small slits were made on the ovarian wall, intense discharge of eggs occurred only in the treated portion.2. Eggs within the nontreated part of the ovary were observed to adhere to each other and to the gonadal wall by means of the follicle layer surrounding them.3. Eggs within ligated ovarian fragments which had been treated with nerve extract lost their follicles and underwent maturation. These eggs were found to be freely movable.4. Artificial spawning could be induced without using nerve extract; ovarian fragments immersed in Mg-free sea water released their eggs after a certain interval, while those treated with Ca-free sea water for an appropriate period spawn after subsequent addition of calcium.5. Breakdown of follicles occurred within an ovary treated with calcium-free sea water.6. Treatment with contraction-inducing agents suc...
