The comparative approach to the study of thyroid function, as illustrated by the studies of Gorbman, Gudernatsch and Payne on lower vertebrates, has been profitable. Another type of comparative approach has been made, chiefly by Baumann, by studying the ability of the thyroid to accumulate various members of the halogen group of elements.
