Abstract
1. Normal and thiourea-treated Phoxinus and Lebistes show a depression of thyroid activity by low environmental temperatures and stimulation by high.
2. Thiourea treatment affects the thermal range in both species.
3. Phoxinus shows a seasonal variation in thyroid activity, correlated with breeding periods. This is absent in Lebistes.
4. No effect of the thyroid on growth could be demonstrated.
