('20) described various grades of atrophic regressive changes in the thyroid follicles of hibernating bats, involving in extreme cases a complete destruction of the follicles. Upon the awakening in the spring, new follicles develop from the remaining interfollicular cell-masses. In hibernating hedgehogs, similar but less marked changes were found.
