CANCER RESEARCH GROUP Zoology Department. University of Pittsburgh. Confidential Report of Activities, Three Months Edning Jan. 1, '25 (The first of a series of montly bulletins) The group of active local workers includes at present: Prof. H.D. Fish, Director of Research. F.E. Kredel, on surgical work and construction of constant temperature room for tissue culture operations. E.L. Thompson, in charge of rat stocks and records. Bessie Dickerson, histological work. Katherine Gebhard, Bibliography. Roland H. Fogel, Reading of publication in English. Marcus Rosenthal, Reading of publication in German. S.C. Crawford, Co-ordinator of above work for Prof. Fish. Other who have given assistance during the three months include Alden Forbes and Robert Braun on construction of cages and handling of stock, Geo. Morgan on Histology and Victor Eisenstein on Records. In late September this group took over the work so ably initiated by Geo. O. Guy, S.C. Major and others. The first main activity was the construction of new cages and the clearing of an additional room to house the rat stocks. There are now 106 cages in the main room and 44 in the annex. The annex is used for segregation and treatment of rats and general overflow. The 150 cages could house a total population of 1000 rats since both [nursing and weaning] cages can hold more thatn the usual quota of 5 rates per cage. The next operation included systematic mating of all available animals, four females being assigned to each male. As a result, 173 young have been successfull reared since Oct. 1st., in spite of losses due to exposure, trampling, eating, and natural death of many animals littered. Now that the work is better systematized there are not so many losses on these accounts. It then seemed wise to separate the cages into several divisions - one group of mating cages, one for nursing young, one for young females after weaning and until 4 months old, one similarily for young males, one for cancer rats and one for rats under observation. Meanwhile it was necessary of course to transplant cancers, and keep alive the form a Flexner carcinoma, originally used by Mr. Major. The next main operation was the withdrawing of albino males from the breeding cages and the rotating of Castle colored males through the stocks. Each male has an assignment of 5 cages, with
