Abstract 1. On the lateral side of each cerebral ganglion of Bulinus truncatus a small lobe, the lateral lobe (LL) is located. 2. Cauterization of the LL caused increase in the body growth, decrease in oviposition, decrease of the polysaccharide content of the organs and decrease of the carbohydrate and protein concentration of the blood. 3. Implantation of cerebral ganglia (+ LL) restored almost the normal values. 4. The effects of the hormone(s) of the LL on growth and reproduction and its correlation with carbohydrate and protein metabolism of snail are discussed.
