Abstract
It is commonly believed that in most species of mammals the mammary gland in the male remains rudimentary throughout life and consists only of a duct system at the base of the teat, which itself remains smaller than in the pubertal female. Nevertheless, there is no doubt whatever that the male mammary gland is equipotential with that of the female as regards its capability of responding to the growth stimulus of ovarian hormones, and consequently the male has been extensively used in studies of the experimental development of the mammary gland (see numerous citations by Nelson 1936).
