Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 March 2009

Extract

In a previous paper Quinlan(1) published the results of his observations on a flock of sheep which had been vasectomised for two years. The present paper contains a résumé of the data already published, to which an additional twelve months' observations have been added. This paper gives the data available from observations carried out on the flock over a period covering three years, or a period of time which allowed full skeletal development to take place.
