The composition of the blood and other tissues of the fowl at different stages of the life cycle has been studied by various workers. From the standpoint of physiological chemistry, particular interest has been attached to the changes which take place at the onset of sexual maturity in the female bird. These changes are closely related to endocrine activity as in the mammal; and at the same time they present numerous special features which are not present in the mammal and which are related to the production by the bird of a relatively large cleidoic egg.
