The role of the pituitary gland in the melanogenesis caused by x irradiation in the goldfish, Carassius auratus, was studied. It was concluded that the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary is stimulated by exposing goldfish to x radiation and that melanophores in the skin are produced by the overexcretion of the hormone.
