1. Within 4.5 hours' experimental period, rectilinear relationship is observed between time and overall uptake of calcium including physico-chemical exhange and physiological accretion by the permanently growing lower incisor of the rat.
2. No difference is observed in overall uptake of calcium by the incisor between day and night.
3. In the initial period after the administration of radioactive calcium, physicochemical exchange and physiological deposition form, respectively, 40 and 60 per cent of the overall incorporation of Ca45 into the lower incisor of the rat.
4. Correlation between overall uptake of calcium by the incisor and body weight of the animals are discussed.
