Weight.—As above mentioned, a tendency to increased weight of the supra- renals during inanition in the human adult was found by Byrne ('19) and Krieger ('20) (excepting diarrheas), although Leupold ('20?) found no change and Pellegrini ('20) a slight decrease in weight. In atrophic human infants, however, a marked loss in suprarenal weight was noted by Lucien ('08, '08a), Mattei ('14), Marfan ('21) and Jackson ('22). Some earlier observations upon the weight of the suprarenals in fasting animals were also mentioned above; those of Chossat ('43) on the pigeon indicat- ing a decrease, while those of Manassein ('69) and Martinotti ('92, '92a) indi-
