From fresh placentas were isolated three itinsulfuric acids most probably containing acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid as sugar components. One of them was proved to play no role in inducing pregnancy toxemia. Through the Grant Committee for Scientific Researches the Ministry of Education gave a grant in aid to us, which is gratefully acknowledged. H. Masamune.
