Errata pasted onto back end-paper. Bibliography: leaves 213-246. Describes the interactions among pituitary-derived peptides, intra-adrenal exposure to glucocorticoids and the local adrenal and endocrine IGF axes in the growth and functional activation of the ovine fetal adrenal gland before birth.

Proposes and develops several conceptual models of the control of adrenal growth and function in late-gestation.
