The course of moulting of Periplaneta americana larvae of which the prothoracic gland were exstirpated, was investigated in 2 succedding series. It could be proved that all animals underwent 1 or 2 moulting processes inspite of the absence of the moulting gland. These results demonstrate that the generally accepted classical schema of the endocrine control of the insect moulting must be renewed.
在连续两个系列中，对摘除前胸腺的美洲大蠊幼虫的蜕皮过程进行了研究。可以证明，尽管没有蜕皮腺，但所有动物都经历了1次或2次蜕皮过程。这些结果表明，昆虫蜕皮内分泌控制的普遍接受的经典模式必须更新。
