Abstract
A TABLE showing the amounts of radioactive phosphorus (relative to the total phosphorus) in the yolk of eggs, the liver and the blood of a hen, 28 hours after it had been administered by subcutaneous injection, is submitted by L. Hahn and Prof. G. Hevesy. From the present and previous experiments the authors infer that the liver of the hen (and not the blood corpuscles) is responsible for the formation of the phosphatides. These are then carried by the plasma to the ovaries.
