Isolated successes have been reported, however, when the uterus was distended with carbon dioxide at the time of egg transfer (Rowson & Moor, 1966; Vincent, Mills & Rundell, 1969). It was found that both natural eggs and artificial eggs in the form of resin spheres of the same size and density were ejected from the uterus within a few hours of their non-surgical deposition within the horn. A possible reason for this rejection might be the
