The incorporation of S35-sulfate into the mucous gland of Charonia lampas was studied by means of autoradiography.
A particularly high uptake of S35 is noted in a layer bordering with the connective tissue in mucous cells. It is shown with Feulgen's nucleal reaction that numerous granules regarded as nuclei are distributed in the layer.
Sections of the liver, obtained 3, 45 and 69 hours after the injection of S35-sulfate, give no blackening of the films in contrast with mammalian livers.
We thank Prof. Fujio Egami for his interest and encouragement. A part of the experiments was executed in the Marine Biological Laboratory of Nagoya University.
