The authors have studied the seasonal microanatomical modifications of the ovary of the roe deer and testis of the roe buck. The ovary during the month of September presents primary, secondary and mature vesicular follicles. During the month of October there is the first presence of a corpus luteum. The corpora lutea during the months of November and December increase in size and blood supply; the cells are filled with acidophil granules. The corpora lutea persist also in January and February when embryos are implanted in the uterus. This result agrees with Short's and -Hay's but differs from that of Stieve. Testes show the first spermatogenic activity during the month of April. The spermatogenesis is completed in June, persists and reaches the top during July and August, when the Leydig cells acquire a strong acidophil cytoplasm. Indeed the spermatogenesis decreases during September and October; then, during winter months the testes are devoid of all signs of spermatogenic activity, the tubules being lined only be Sertoli cells and spermatogonia.
作者研究了狍卵巢和雄狍睾丸的季节性微观解剖学变化。9月时，卵巢内存在初级、次级和成熟的囊状卵泡。10月首次出现黄体。11月和12月时，黄体体积增大，血液供应增加；细胞内充满嗜酸性颗粒。1月和2月胚胎植入子宫时，黄体依然存在。这一结果与肖特和海伊的研究结果一致，但与施蒂夫的不同。睾丸在4月开始出现首次生精活动。精子发生在6月完成，7月和8月持续进行并达到高峰，此时睾丸间质细胞获得强嗜酸性细胞质。实际上，9月和10月精子发生减少；然后，在冬季，睾丸没有任何生精活动迹象，曲细精管仅由支持细胞和精原细胞构成。
