The thighs of newborn rabbits were exposed to various doses oi hard x rays (100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 r). Alopecia was caused by a single dose of more than 1000 r 6 days after exposure, and ulceration was caused by a single dose of more than 5000 r 2l days after exposure. In newborn rabbits both onset of and recovery from alopecia were much earlier than in the ( case of adult animals. There was no significant change in the cells of the epidermis but there was a marked decline in mitotic cell division in the hair bulbs from the 6th day after exposure. The order of sensitivity to irradiation of the skin tissues was. hair bulbs, epidermis, sebaceous glands, subcutaneous connective tissues, capillaries, and blood vessels. (Abstr.
