Abstract
THIS communication reports the calcium concentration of submaxillary salivary glands of mammals including man. The submaxillary glands of the rat have been reported to contain more calcium than blood or other soft tissue1. The calcium concentration of the submaxillary glands of other mammals have not been compared using the same analytical procedures. The work recorded here was undertaken to determine whether the high concentration of calcium encountered in the rat submaxillary gland was characteristic of these glands in other mammals and man.
