The involution of the uterus was studied between 1 and 40 days postpartum utilizing serial ultrasonic scans. All pregnancies and postpartum periods were uncomplicated. The decrease in uterine size was related to a diminution in uterine length. No difference was observed between nullipara and primipara or breastβ or bottleβfeeding mothers.

## LEGEND TO IMAGE Postpartum endometritis is often a mild to moderate infection which responds rapidly to broad spectrum antibiotics. Infrequently, a patient will develop diffuse thrombosis of the vasculature of the uterus, thereby decreasing tissue perfusion. This results in inadequate levels of
DNA was measured in small portions of rat uterus myometrium by a modification of established procedures. Portions of minced tissue were denatured in TCA and then dissolved in 1~ KOH.

## Abstract After ligation of the rat pancreas, DNA synthesis in centoacinar cells and cells of the intercalary ducts, proximal and distal to the ligature, was suppressed for about 18 hr. This preceded a large increase in thymidine labelling of the nuclei of these cells. The increase in the thymidi
