The clusters of luteal cells, however, have apparently disappeared, their place being taken by the ordinary connective tissue and an enormous number of small lymphocytes which are arising in the intertubular tissue at this time. Some of these small lymphocytes become transformed into large wandering cells which usually occur in the testis of both hen- and cock-feathered birds. The disappearance of the ! ). FIG. 9. Cock-feathered, normal cock and hen, from Wright's " Xew Book of ; luteal cells may be accounted for by the failure of this tissue to regenerate owing to its more or less abnormal condition at the time of castration. If some of the cells found in the sections are really luteal cells their numbers are probably too small to induce any change in the characteristics of the plumage. The relatively large size of the comb in the ' larger' bird, on the other hand, may be due, even in the case in which a very small.
