In the testes of the remaining two experimental birds the first maturation division was under way. Most of the j uncos field-trapped and sacrificed at about the termination of the experiment were in spermatogenic states comparable to those attained by our short- day controls, group B. Only one of nine had reached the stage of initiation of spermatocyte division. That one is thus similar to the least developed of our ex- perimental birds of. group C. At this time, day lengths were approaching 12 hours (sunrise-sunset), and these outside birds had been exposed, for almost four weeks, to day lengths exceeding the 10 hours allowed our experimental and short-day con- trol birds. White-throated sparrows (Zonotnchia albicollis). (Tables III and IV.) The results, at first glance, may not appear to be as convincing as in the case of the juncos. t B / FIGURE 2.
