Abstract
Follicular Hormone IN a paper published recently by Butenandt and his co-workers,1 the hypothetical formula (I) was developed for the follicle hormone. This formula attempted to correlate the X-ray measurements of J. D. Bernal,2 which made a three-ring system for the hormone probable, with the chemical evidence at that time in hand.

Marrian and Haslewood (Lancet, Aug. 6) have just put forward evidence which also shows that only three double bonds are present in the molecule. They also suggest a four-ring structure.
