1. High concentrations (272 ± 33 ng/ml) of urogastrone-epidermal growth factor were measured in prostatic fluid from normal males by a specific radioimmunoassay. 2. Significantly lower concentrations (155 ± 24 ng/ml) were observed in the prostatic fluid of patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy than in the age-matched normal controls (2P < 0.01). 3. The growth factor content of seminal fluid was accounted for by the contribution of prostatic fluid. 4. Immunochemical studies failed to show evidence of synthesis within the gland nor could high affinity receptors for the protein be demonstrated in membrane preparations of the gland.

1. The method of exchange of the seminal fluid in Eutyphoeus is very simple and direct as compared with the elaborate process in Lumbricus. No intermediate structures like the clitellum and temporary seminal grooves take part in the process in Eutyphoeus. 2. During sexual congress, the co-operating worms become attached to one another in a head-to-tail position in such a way that the spermathecal apertures (7/8) of one are apposed to the penial segment (seventeenth) of the other and vice versa. 3. The male ‘genital pits’ are everted to form ‘genital cups’ and the penis is protruded. The genital cups produce a suction on the area of skin surrounding the spermathecal pores of the co-operating worm, and thus cause the formation of spermathecal papillae. In this way a ‘peg and socket’ joint is formed at four places in a copulating pair and, at each joint, the attachment is intimate, the genital cup closely embracing the spermathecal papilla and the penis penetrating the spermathecal duct. 4. There is a further attachment between the ventral surfaces of the two worms by means of permanent copulating papillae and temporary integumentary outgrowths. 5. The function of the penis as an intromittent organ in Eutyphoeus has been elucidated for the first time and a distinction has been made between ‘functional’ and ‘reserve’ penial setae. 6. The exchange of sperms is mutual. The penes inject both spermatic and prostatic fluids into the spermathecae. The sperms are invariably found in the diverticula and not in the ampulla, which probably contains a secretion of its own epithelium. There is some evidence to believe that the prostatic fluid serves a nutrient medium for the sperms in the seminal chambers of the diverticula.
