On the basis of a study of X-ray-treated myomatous and metritic uteruses and corresponding ovaries, the author concludes that the degree of follicle destruction by x-rays depends on individual sensitivity, and parallel to follicle atrophy is proliferation of thecae cells. The author does not consider the sclerotic changes in the vessels as a direct result of the rays.
