TL;DR
The white-footed mouse (Perornyscus leucopus), a feral, nocturnal, polyestrous species with an annual minter anestrum, has been shown to be affected in its reproductive activity by changes in day-length, and the significance of the pineal in regard to photoperiodic responses should be examined.

The staining method consists of immersion in aldehyde-fuchsin for the selective demonstration of the beta cell granules, staining of the nuclei with Ehrlich's hematoxylin and a rapid one-step counterstain with light green and orange G dissolved in a phosphotungstic-acetic acid mixture for the differentiation of the acidophilic and the delta cell granule.

The effect of light on a polyestrous mammal was investigated and it was found that the normal diurnal variations associated with estrus in the rat were reversed when the day-night rhythm of light was artificially shifted.

A series of experiments were designed to discover possible nervous pathways through which retinal stimulation may affect the pituitary, and to conclude by most worker that activation of the gonads in such experiments is primarily dependend onretinal stimulation.

Observations on the presence and distribution of nucleoproteins, lipids, glycogen, collagen, nerve fibers and alkaline phosphatase are explored by a variety of methods and contain brief observations in regard to autofluorescence and birefringence in these areas.
